Yin's Memories

Wei Ying

He expected for Yin to pull him into her darkness, but as Wei Ying open his eyes, he found himself face to face with Xuanyu. He backed away instantly, confused as for what both of them were immersed in Yin's madness.

"Xuanyu... just what..." Wei Ying started.

"This is not Yin's dimension, it's yours as you are inside of her, which allow me to be here too, as we are still connected." Xuanyu explained.

"Then, why are you showing up here? Meng Yao and Xue Yang will be here soon, go back or all the effort taken to save this world will be for nothing." Wei Ying told him.

"Time passes differently inside any dimension and there things outside that needs yo happen while we are gone. Besides, in Yin's current state, I think it will be best if you let me handle this for you." Wei looked at Xuanyu more seriously.

"I can only offer the memories I got from the Cold Cave, but you had also lost yours. What can you offer her?" Wei remember him.

"I did lose most of my memories, for many centuries in fact, but I gain them back when you both clean that piece of land in the Burial Mounds, just a while ago. The combination of your energies broke that hidden damp inside of my seal for good. She was my Master and I owe her this." Xuanyu said without a trace of fooling out. It was actually surprising to see him looking so solemn.

He had always wear half a mask, so he was even more surprised when he finally took it out to reveal his full face and his true identity. The one standing in front of him was not the one he had named Xuanyu, but Yin's sword spirit called Mo by her.

"You are now, Mo." Wei said as an affirmation, not in a question.

"Yes and no. Although I am Mo, I'm also Xuanyu and what you are seen now is the combination of both of my Masters energies.

"Had Chenqing see you like this?" Wei asked.

"He is head over heels about me, of course he did! And let me tell you he find me even hotter now." Xuanyu laughed.

"Yet you are the same pervert." Wei sighed.

"Yeah, looks who's talking, you are not too different from me with your Lan Zhan." Wei Ying smiled.

"You can't blame me, he is such a man..." Wei said happily.

"And you droll over him like an idiot, but moving from that... Let me take over this one time. I will bring back a bit of Yin's sanity, so she will not kill your untamed team or the coming Meng Yao before you can fully recover what she lost." Mo Xuanyu said.

"Alright... just make sure she doesn't kill us instead." Wei said.

"As if... I too have quite the man to go back to." Wei smirked, then closed his eyes and when he open them again, they were tinted deep red.

Mo Xuanyu

Having his memories back make his understanding of his former Master a lot easier. Before Rouhan show up to bring chaos to their world, Yin was joyful young woman, quite in love with Yang. They often walked around the heavenly gardens and danced, played and love each other the same way the Wei Ying and Lan Zhan did these days.

She always dressed in a way she resemble flowers, from rose, to yellow, from green to lavender. Yang usually pick up some flowers and put them on her hair, then kiss her good morning in a cute way. Their happiness was contagious and the world benefit from it as their harmony keep the country balance as Yang spread his heavenly energy he got from Yin.

That disastrous day, the summoning of Taotie got Yin by surprise and she was caught off guard as the beast swallow her consciousness, instead of her body, as her dark energy was unlimited, but Yang got in the way, pushing her away to become the target instead. He did it in order to protect her, but as Taotie drained him, he lose his control over Yin's energy and she lose herself in her own darkness and with no memories to hold her there, where danger was so close she went away.

She teleported herself to somewhere else, cutting her connection with Yang and losing the notion of time and of her true self, making the world suffering along with her. It was a sad story coming from a couple that had shared so much happiness during the centuries they were together.

Now Yin looked like an old hag, covered by black ragged clothes and almost unrecognizable. Even her eyes had become tainted with red and her usually beautiful complexion was gone along with her consciousness. Deep within what was left of her spirit, she looked pitiful, sat in her darkness, moaning and crying for something not even her knew why.

It was better for Wei Ying to not see her like that, as in a way, that could be a reflection of himself if the story came to repeat itself. Still, there was hope for her and they were there to bring her back her happiness and sanity, reuniting them both again as the gods had dictated so long ago.

"Master Yin..." Xuanyu called at the woman sat in the center of a dead forest that was how she lived internally. She turned to look at him, but there was no recognition in her red eyes, only a kind of malice it make Wei Ying's skin had goosebumps.

"Who are you? Where is the kid? I want to play with him." Yin said in such a rasped voice he didn't even recognize her anymore. Gone was her sweet voice that Yang loved so much.

"I am Mo... do you remember me?" He asked as he slightly bowed to her.

"Get lost, I don't want you." She said, turning to chant some dark tune. The one Wei Ying had played with Chenqing that could call on her lost soul.

"Why not? I was once yours..." She looked back at him again, staring at the possessed figure of Wei Ying that was now Mo.

"Liar." She hissed, getting mad and dark energy begin to gather around her fragile body.

"But it's true... do you want me to show you? Don't you want to see that you lost and yearn for, but escape your hold as running water? I can, right now..." Mo Xuanyu insisted and she looked at him now more suspiciously than mad.

"Show me." She demanded and Mo Xuanyu smiled as he concentrate in those times he was her spirit and the memories their shared as a happy family.

The images of his memories showed on the black void of the inexistent floor if the dark forest. It begins with the figure of the young woman she once was. Her features beautiful, her silky clothes moving around her slender body as she turned around, giggling in happiness. Behind her, he stood, watching her dance along with Jinzhu, which was her black dragon, now gone, Yinse and Cian (Yang's sword spirit).

They could hear the beautiful sound of a flute being played, although the one playing it was not in sight. Yin stared at the image with widen eyes, perhaps something in her memory triggering up, yet she stayed silent. The woman ran around a bed of flowers and around all four of them, occasionally taking the hand of one to dance with them, Yinse, Cian, Jinzhu and then himself.

"That is me, Mo... and the one I'm dancing with, it's you." Mo Xuanyu whisper and saw her in even more shock. She extended her hand toward the memories playing out in the floor and try to touch, but her hand simply passed through the memories like if was made of air.

"Her name is Yin, the blessed daughter of Nuwa the goddess and we were her protectors. However, the young woman in the image had another protector and she loved him like nothing else. He was her other half and he keep her power in balance and her heart fill with love and happiness... the one you once loved, Yang." Xuanyu whisper as the younger Yin ran toward someone else. A man dressed in black and white, with long hair half tied, playing a dark flute.

As she came to him, he stop playing and smiled kindly at her and hug her when she was close enough to him. Then he moved his head down to kiss her, with a kind of love it was plain to see. At that moment, tears ran down the lost Yin and she screamed her heart out, watching her former self with the love of her life.

"AHHHHHHHH!" She screamed in deep pain, trying to capture the evasive reflection of Yang, who was now running with her in the yellowish flower bed, pulling her as he ran.

"Yanggggg!!!!" Yin screamed again, holding her mess up head.

"There is no need for you to be in this pain. This kid is here to help you get Yang back and also the things you lose to Taotie. You can have that happiness back, Master. Please allow us to give it a try." Xuanyu whisper coming closer to her and carefully sitting by her side.

Instantly Yin turned to hold him tight, as she cry all her pain and suffering on his shoulders. Xuanyu sighed, as he gently rubbed his former Master's back. It was to give comfort to someone who need it most, so he hoped Wei Ying will not mind, when he found himself back to his body and the dark lady on crying on his arms.

Wei Ying

"I want them back... Yang... my Yang..." Wei Ying open his eyes to such a sorrowful scene, but he didn't move from Yin's embrace, nor stop the hand that was gently rubbing her back.

"Let me help you..." Wei Ying said and Yin pull away to look at the one she was just holding.

"You are the kid... the one with my seed." She said, as tears ran down her face.

"I am Wei Ying and Nuwa wants you back." Wei whisper as he gently dry her tears with his fingers. She was so like him, that he understood her pain.

"How? I don't know what's true and what's fake anymore. I can't remember all... I only know this pain, this madness, this darkness I can't control..." She said, as she grabbed him by his collar.

"I know. If I were to lose my Lan Zhan and my memories of him... my world will also end, even if my body keep on living. But Yang is waiting for you and the world needs restoration and healing as much as you. I can give you that back, you just had to play the part." Wei Ying told her, as he softly took her hands that let go of his robes.

"Play the part? What part?" Yin asked confused.

"For me to enter Taotie's dimension to gather your lost consciousness and if I'm lucky perhaps something else you lost, I had to die." Yin widen her eyes and back off, fearing he will ask her to kill him and he was her only hope to be whole again, now that she had seen what was missing in her life for so long.

"No! I won't kill you! You had to save me! Bring me to Yang!" She yelled.

"Calm down, it's not you. Outside this dimension you have been hiding in, there are others. Most of them are here to help me get you, but there are two coming our way who wants to control you and enslave you to do their will. They are trying to bring back Rouhan..." At the mention of the name the darkness around them went wild.

"Rouhan... Rouhan..." She try to remember.

"He is the one who summon Taotie, but he was swallow by it too. His soul is still on the other side and his followers are trying to bring him back." Wei keep up.

"NOOOO! They will not bring him back!!!" She yelled as she stood.

"Wait! That's why I told you there is the need for you to play your part. Don't kill them now or your chance to be back with Yang will be gone." Wei said, following her example.

"I will not forgive the demons who do this to me!" She said.

"Neither do I, but I need to go to Taotie's dimension to help you. Once I go back to my body, we will take care of them." Wei said.

"Here..." He touched his chest. "You can feel my dark seed and see beyond my seals. Mo is inside of me, we mean you no harm." She stared at Wei Ying and then she calmed down.

"If you promise me with your life that you will bring me back to Yang, I will also promise to play the part." Yin said and Wei Ying smiled kindly.

"I promise. Help me die and I will bring you back your life." Wei whisper and extended his hand for her to grab it and when she did, Wei Ying found himself back to the Burial Mounds held by Yin as a mother would to her child. As he looked back, he found Xue Yang putting his double edge sword on Lan Zhan's neck and several black talismans all over his white robes. Curses...

"Welcome back Wei Wuxian." Meng Yao said and Wei Ying stared at the one who will force him to make Lan Zhan suffer, with deep anger and disgust, yet he calmed down, placing the barely controlled Yin on his back.

"Lan Zhan..." Wei whisper sadly.

"Wei Ying..." Lan Zhan said back, with hidden sorrow. So it was time... to die.

AN: Alright, this is the strings of fate playing out, worry not, Wei Ying will not be really gone, although Lan Zhan will be in deep pain for a bit of time.
