Heart (Part 1)
Xie Qing had been asleep for a while in his tent. The campfire had been extinguished, and a thin, barely noticeable smoke was rising. The forest was shrouded in a dead silence.
The stars shone brightly in the sky as if they had become much brighter than usual tonight. And suddenly, a round object appeared in the beautiful, glittering sky.
Duum!
The sky was filled with bright purple colors. A round, distinctly purple-glowing point began to increase in size.
Someone might have thought that the Northern Lights had appeared, but the bright ball continued to grow, eventually becoming the same size as the Sun.
This caused panic among many astrologers. They suddenly felt that the past, present, and future blurred.
The panic lasted for about twenty minutes. In such a short time, the ball had managed to replace the entire sky and then disappear completely.
What had actually happened was unknown. Many predicted disasters!
