Confusion. Dumbfounded. Chaos. There was a long growl, an awful crushing sound like twigs being snapped and in the middle of a large bed I was losing my ability to fight the monster.

Earlier That Day
Eyes of deep royal ocean blue flutter open. A beautiful face of jade like skin, a small but present almost luminescent silver, gold, and blood colored mark on her forehead, a small refined nose, and tear drop shaped eyes decorated her. The woman has hair of a light vivid red almost blonde color, her hair is unimaginably long, it is braided up, and it has a naturally occurring ombre created by the seasons affect on her ever growing hair.
A nightmare just ended leaving me breathless, sweaty, and panicky. I feel the slightest worry as I can't remember what I had seen. Remembering I need to get ready for work I brush my unease away.
I get up and do some light stretching while heading for a huge glass wall. When I reached the wall I push open an almost invisible door and walk out onto a balcony of gilded metal and earth. The sun has yet to peek over the horizon but it is already starting to brighten outside.
The balcony has a small gate in the middle leading off the balcony to the open air. I look at the gate and decide to sit on it instead of opening it. I peer down to below my dangling feet, -unamused by the over abundance of evil people- I had been gifted this palace but there was still many people allowed within these walls and some remained around in my life.
I let out a sigh as I launch myself from my spot on the 7th story balcony. Just beneath me is a delectable lotus pond. The lotus ponds almost surrounds the entirety of the palace giving my home a permanent rich floral fragrance.
Before I go past the fourth floor I expand my wings. My wings are over six feet in length. The coloration of my wings is white feathers with gold tips. As a Phoenix my wings are my pride. I admire my wings for a moment longer and then take flight towards the southeastern part of the palace.
When I arrive at Rain Pavillion, a bath has already been prepared for me. As eager as I am to work I stay longer in the relaxation of the baths. As I'm getting out, I feel shivers go down my spine and an almost suffocating ominous feeling looms over me and traps me in it'shold like deer in headlights. Spooked, I rush back to my main quarters to get away from this feeling of unbearable and foreboding doom.
In my room I manage to calm myself and finally I decide to get ready. I find a dress with a print of clouds and flowers of blue and lavender print and pair it with white shoes. 'Happy thoughts from happy places and/or pretty things,' I think to myself as I head to work.
When I arrive at work as soon as I get out of my car the roar of a crowd calling out "Nian Bai Miao!" begins. There is a selected group of reporters who are allowed photos and words, "This way! Nian Bai Miao, pose and pause! hold it!" calls a crowd of selected reporters as I make my way inside of DHDJ Studios. The person they're calling is me, I'm Nian Bai Miao, I'm nineteen in mortal years, which is somewhere in the equivalent of a little less than a couple decades under sixty thousand years old in Heavenly times.
I am the only daughter of the world rulers Emperor Nian Shen God of Fortune and Empress Wang Xi Goddess of Life. These parents of mine dominated the entire world before I existed but now they have to go through a major calamity and or trials soon. For me that means as their established heir that isn't the least bit interested in fighting for their throne, I have to preside over their throne while they aren't in the ninth heaven.
I came to enjoy the mortal realm, after I experienced a few mortal trials if my own I began to take a liking to the mortal realm and I enjoy spending my time in the mortal realm.
My two brothers, both older but one from a different mother, have been feuding over the throne so I have become the buffer. I hold a residence in a palace that was built for me when I went through my first mortal trial. Three mortal trials later and I just live in the mortal realm when I can.
The world almost found out exactly who I am because one of my brothers' one versus one brawls landed in the mortal realm. To limit casualties and prevent an imbalance of souls, I shielded a large group of mortals from my brothers blasts of power. I had dragged them home and left them to my parents judgement. When I returned to the mortal realm my face was plastered as a Goddess among mortals.
I'm not a supreme power, only a Princess of the Heavenly Realm. Still though, I am the only White Phoenix Goddess. I have immense power but no clear set specified power. I am often called an angel but I don't do as much work as an angel.
Angel's are mostly High Immortals and I have yet to become a High Immortal. I can become a High Immortal after I pass my next Heavenly Trial, but I am in no rush. There is a faded line between the rules of ancient times and the rules of new.
I walk into the DHDJ Studios building and am greeted by the masses working inside. I smile and wave at my coworkers. I wish them a good day before I walk into the elevator to go start my work. In the studio I had just wrapped up a photo shoot and am handed a reminder about tonight's gala and fashion show. I'm excited for tonight's sd how as I get to show off my new line of clothes. I select people and paired them with pieces and confirm tonight's preparations.
At the show I successfully show off a delicate chiffon gown myself and I am invited to a vip room with High Class Company CEO Xu Jin. As a representative of DHDJ Studios I am obligated to go and greet him but personally I wouldn't ever want to step within a mile of him. His aura is heavy, chaotic, dark, and suffocating and I wasn't told or warned by my informant in the Heavens yet that the man was a reincarnation of the mysterious Seventh King of Hell.
When I enter the room I politely greet Mr. Xu. "Hello Mr. Xu, I am Designer Nian, I am your assigned Representative from DHDJ Studios," I smile and having greeted him politely I hope this meeting goes by quick. The man is standing in the corner of the room seemingly looking out the window and he turns around and smiles at me. Xu Jin was the reincarnation of the Seventh Kig of Hell and now as I am in his presence this information is made known. It makes me uneasy as the atmosphere around me is seemingly trying to force me to stay while I desperately want to leave.
As I stand still smiling back at Mr. Xu as he continues to smile at me I smooth the dress I showed earlier, wearing it at his request. As I finish smoothing imaginary wrinkles Mr. Xu walks towards me. He watches me intently as I turn my head away from him as I try my best to not to shrink away. He lightly chuckles in the small space between us, he pulls me into him in a sort if hug and I glare at him.
His eyes seemed to brighten, he releases me, and then he beckones at a table set up in the middle of the room. I was expecting more people to join us in this meeting room, at least his undetachable guards, as the rumors had it Xu Jin was always in the company of his most trusted guards a set of fraternal twins which seemed to never leave his side except now. I peered around before I uncomfortably sit down and Mr. Xu seems to not realize it as he sits directly next to me.
"Thank you for agreeing to this meeting Designer Nian," Mr. Xu starts chatting. "I admire your work, I invested in DHDJ Studios so that I might get to see more of your works and I was right to do so and now I am blessed to see a lot more of your work," he compliments.
I smile at him half worried and part of me was okay with just sitting there but I still felt uneasy in his solo presence. This is just a reincarnation, a mortal reincarnation I tell myself.
Food is spread on the table and he opens a fresh bottle of wine. "You are more beautiful in person, and the mark on your forehead is absolutely tantalizing, I just want to touch it and stroke it," Mr Xu continues as he pours a small amount of wine into two beautifully ornamented wine glasses.
"Thank you for your kindness Mr. Xu..." I say wishing there was at least one more person in the large room. "If you want to touch my forehead it is a bit odd but I see no reason to refuse," I offer knowing if I refused him he would and could complain later, at least it's just my forehead and he's just axmortal I tell myself. I part my bangs and turn myself in the chair so that I sit in front of Mr. Xu. He gently runs his thumb across the mark and then he hands me one of the glasses of wine he had poured. I nervously chuckle and accept the drink. I smell the wine and could smell sweet notes of peach blossom and no trace of poison.
"Is this Peach Blossom wine from the VenJessie Winery?," I ask excitedly. My good friends for many years of my lives are Venilisa and Jessmiss both Goddesses from the land of Zheng Zhi the realm neighboring the Heavens lasting up until the Seventh Heaven. They had opened a winery as we hoped that when we came to the mortal realm that we could still celebrate together with good wines. It quickly became a lasting favorite.
"No, sadly, this is a bottle provided by the Rose Winery," Mr. Xu apologized and my excitement faded. I let my smile fall a notch and returned my thoughts to the wine. After clearing it I continued enjoying it's sent. I took a small sip and then a large sip. Setting the glass down, I continued savoring the flavors I gather from my sip.
I was enjoying my wine again when I look up at Mr. Xu who suddenly smiles very brightly and something in his face flickers. He is just human, I remind myself yet again.
He collects a few of the foods on the table onto a seperate plate and serves them to me. I see buffalo wings on the plate and dig in.
Two plates later I feel full and ready to sleep. Mr. Xu excuses himself for a moment and he leaves the room. I begin plotting how to go home. As a Goddess I have an uncanny and oddly ordinary habit that I am able to adapt to a human life almost fully. I fell ready for a food coma nap and my home is only a four minute flight away, so I decide I want to fly home as soon as possible. I scan the room for a paper and pen, seeing a napkin I scribble my sorry, good bye, and thanks. I place the napkin on the table and turn to leave. I never got to leave and am knocked out before I could even finish turning.
Confusion. Dumbfounded. Chaos. There is a long growling sound, an awful crushing sound like twigs being snapped and in the middle of a large bed I'm losing my ability to fight the monster. A man with incredible build and solid body frame is pinning me down. I realise the crushing sound I heard was the bones in my hands cracking and straining. I was holding my eyes closed and finally open them as I sense something awful.
I see a bewitched Mr. Xu ripping away my clothes. His eyes are red and hold a doubled irises look. I assess that this reincarnation is being controlled by another entity, someone powerful is behind this.
I try to throw Mr. Xu to the side but instead I lose my grip against the bewitched Mr. Xu and then I lose my fight against him. Before my struggle to keep him off of me is over, I fall still as an unknown power sends a paralyzing pain all over the outside of my body, and overpowered I witness still conciousness the next moments in horror.
My most valued purity has just been stolen by a puppet, someone using someone else. I lost my purity to a mortal puppet! I think to myself again in agony. I think of the only powers that could harm me is either from the Heavens or the Demon Realm, a mortal reincarnation of a King of Hell was only susceptible to a King of Hell ranking above that of the King's reincarnation.
