Second Memory

The next day Diao Chan handed over her youngest son to Zhao Qing before hugging Zhao Zheng who still didn't understand what was going on while Zhao Fang and Zhao Mulan were crying rivers.

"Don't cry, you might not be able to see me when I am gone but I will always be watching over you," says Diao Chan before hugging her oldest two.

Fenghuang landed on her shoulder when she says, "And Fenghuang will always be able to come here and bring you letters and gifts from me."

Fenghuang seems to agree with his master giving a positive sound from himself which made Diao Chan smile knowing that she could always get in contact with her children since Fenghuang was only a pet that could enter and leave the mortal world easily like Odin's Ravens.

"We have to go or he will punish us for real this time," says Lorena to Diao Chan while putting her hand on Diao Chan's free shoulder.

"Alright," says Diao Chan sadly before kissing the forehead of her children and following Lorena who opens a portal made out of Darkness.

They pass through the portal as it closes behind them. They walk for a while through the Darkness before they reach the other side finding themselves on a rainbow bridge that leads into a city.

"You are almost home. Do you want to meet your father and brothers before you go home?" asks Lorena sad about Diao Chan's situation when Diao Chan began to get engulfed in green flames.

Diao Chan slowly turned into a woman with dead black hair and radiant golden eyes before her hair turned radiant golden while her eyes turned dead black.

"I want to go home. I neglected my duty long enough," says the woman as she opened a portal that leads to her home.

In the meantime in China near Xiapi, Yun was sleeping after the terrifying incident from the day before.

He didn't even notice that a shadow was standing over him while he was sleeping against a tree. The shadow stretches what looked like a hand towards Yun and touches his forehead.

"Re...Mem...Ber," says the shadow in a grim almost terrifying tone as if a ghost was speaking when it continued, "Re...Mem...Ber...What...You...Are."

Yun was dreaming when suddenly he appears on a battlefield. He sees a man with a Golden Armor resembling his armor kneeling on the ground while a sword was pierced on the ground beside him.

Corpses were scattered around the man when Yun noticed that they were Angels, Demons, Valkyries, Immortals, and even Gods. Yun approaches the man when he sees the helm dropped from the head and short black hair was visible.

Yun approaches the man and he notices that the man was holding something in his arms. Yun was standing before the man and golden eyes with an Alpha and Omega in them met his eyes.

Yun suddenly remembered the dream he once had with a boy that made a contract with a God when he hears the man scream all the air out of his lungs as if he was in pain.

Yun sees the man cry as he says in a mad tone, "My daughter, oh my daughter, I was too late again. I will kill them all once again and reunite with you and the others in the next cycle."

Yun could now see a teen in the man's arms she has red hair but he couldn't see the eyes of the girl because they were closed. Yun tried to stretch out his hand towards the man when he suddenly feel killing intent coming from the man before him.

"Touch her and Caliburn will cut you down," says the man madly as Yun notices that the man wasn't crying tears but blood the whole time.

Yun stumbled backward because the pressure the man was radiating from himself was even greater than the pressure he felt the day before.

"You can see me?" asks Yun confused and terrified at the same time.

"My eyes can see everything," says the man as he stands up and kicks the ground making a hole before placing the girl into it.

He closes the hole and turns to Yun. The man was a head taller than Yun as he grabs his sword and moves past Yun.

"Where are you going?" asks Yun as he followed the man.

"I am going to face my nemesis," says the man grimly as he looked at the sky when Yun sees a man he saw before.

"The Man of all Contracts," says Yun shocked making the man turn around before he remembered something.

"You shouldn't be here," says the man seriously as the Man of all Contracts and a woman land before the man.

"Are you talking with the air again, Saver of Mankind," says the Man of all Contracts mocking the man who rushed at both.

He tries to slash them apart with his sword but nothing happened to them when the woman says coldly, "You can't kill us. Have you forgotten the contract you signed cycles ago?"

"Yes, I can't kill you," says the man earnestly when a smile on his face suddenly chains appear around the couple's body and the man says, "But I can seal you away until the day I find a way to kill you."

"You bastard!" shouts the Man of all Contracts furiously trying to break free of the chains when the man only laughs at them.

"Those are the chains of the mighty Fenrir. If he couldn't escape them how will you two. And one more thing," says the man madly in finally finding a way to chain them up when the air around him became ice cold and he says, "It is Deathseeker and not Saver of Mankind."

The man then disappears with the Man of all Contracts and the Woman of all Regulations leaving Yun behind when he suddenly sees a shadow approach him in the distance.

"Re...Mem...Ber...Who...You...Are...," says the Shadow installing fear into Yun who stumbled backward.

This made him wake up covered in sweat as he pulls his sword out and slices the air before him in fear only to see that nobody was there. Yun was taking deep breaths because of the panic he felt just some moments ago.

He noticed that he was drenched in sweat and that some of his men woke up because of his action only for him to sheath his sword again.

He was trying to build a facade so the soldier could calm down while his right leg was still trembling, showing his real emotion of fear because of the dream and the pressure he felt from the three beings which were far over the pressure he felt yesterday.

He walked away to wash himself as it was a chilly night and he didn't want to catch a cold or something worse. After washing up he returned to camp and laid back against the tree when he notices two footsteps that aren't his on the ground before him.

'This is slowly turning into a fucking Horror Movie,' thinks Yun before closing his eyes again trying to get some sleep since it would be a long day.

The next morning Yun was waiting for Liu Bei and his brothers since they still hadn't been addressed because of the matter involving Liu Bei losing their supplies to Lu Bu.

"You only had one job," says Yun earnestly as Liu Bei was placed before Yun who was standing over the kneeling Liu Bei.

"They surprised us," says Liu Bei trying to escape his responsibility.

"How could they surprise you when you have far more men than the person attacking our supplies. They couldn't have moved their whole army since we would have noticed it.

I think that you got lazy doing your duty of protecting our supplies because the enemy had holed itself up inside the city. You thought that they wouldn't attack our supply line since they wouldn't dare to leave the city," says Yun feigning being angry with Liu Bei for messing up.

"What do you two have to say to what your brother got us in?" asks Yun out of Zhang Fei and Guan Yu since it was their duty as well to protect the supplies.

"It wasn't their fault," says Guan Yu earnestly as he looked Yun in the eyes.

"So you are going to shelter the fault you brothers have committed altogether?" asks Yun in a serious tone as Guan Yu nods.

"I told my brothers that it wasn't needed to send many people to defend the supplies since the enemy wasn't moving in a large force since they retreated into the city," says Guan Yu explaining why they lost their supplies to the enemy.

"As always taking the fall for your brothers," says Yun as he walks before Guan Yu.

"You know that you don't have to do that. They will never learn from their mistakes if you take them under your protection," says Yun to Guan Yu while glaring at Zhang Fei and Liu Bei.

"That's why I let my children make mistakes and fail at things when it is important. They will learn from those experiences and won't make the same mistake over and over again," says Yun seriously before walking away.

"Dian Wei, Guan Yu will be punished by taking his horse and men away. They will be under your command until this war is over. Guan Yu, you will be only a soldier until the war is over. If I see you lead one person I will see it as going against the Military Law and punish you again," says Yun seriously making Guan Yu look at the ground because everything he achieved over the years was taken away from him in a second.

"You can't do that!" shouts Liu Bei angry with Yun when Yun stopped and turned around.

Yun was covered in Qi as he walked toward Liu Bei. It was intimidating making Liu Bei shake in fear since the pressure was only directed at him.

"It was his mistake and by Military Law, he had proven to not be able to lead his men rendering him useless. Now I ask you, would you be able to trust a man with your men if he made the fatal mistake of losing your vital supplies? I don't think so," says Yun furiously at Liu Bei since it was his fault and not Guan Yu's fault.

If Liu Bei had come forward he wouldn't have been able to do so since Liu Bei has the same rank as Yun at the moment as Leader of the Vanguard. But Liu Bei didn't admit his fault giving Yun only the choice of stripping Guan Yu of his men and rank.

Yun then leaves angry at Liu Bei for not standing up even now that he knew the consequences of his action. Liu Bei didn't even know that by Yun doing what he did, he created a small crack in Guan Yu's perception of his older brother.
