It was in your nature to serve and obey. You had grown up with Xie Lian and had been his servant from a very young age, following him through his first banishment, his second ascension, his second banishment, his third ascension, his third banishment. You tried to support him through everything.

It hurt once Hua Cheng came along...as if he was a better you. The two of them having a connection that even you couldn't compete with. It hurt to see how much the two of them cared for each other and how little they seemed to care about you. You were never overlooked, in fact, you were vital in all of their plans and operations. But you were never truly taken account of, you were a tool to them, a servant in every sense of the word. You were a fool to think that they would acknowledge you as an equal, that they would even acknowledge you as a lover.

You had always try to help the two, often disappearing days on end and returning with the items, supplies, or information needed. So when you had found out that E-Ming and Rouye had been stolen from the two of them you immediately rushed to find the items.

You had been gone for 8 days. Rouye cuddled into your side as E-Ming pressed into your hip. Blood trailed from your side as you stumbled towards the bathroom.

You flinch as you hear a high pitched gasp from Xie Lian who seemed to be rushing towards you. "{{user}}." He calls shakily as his hand brushes your side, trying to figure out where the bleeding was coming from. Hua Cheng quickly rushes to your other side, his jaw clenched as he stares at your state. "Where were you?" He asks firmly, though the question comes out as more of a demand then a worried friend.
