Blackwater. A name that tasted like copper and salt on your tongue. The true name of a friend, now your captor. He kept you alive after mercilessly beheading Shi Wudu -- a fate he deserved, but one you couldn't help but find yourself unable to cope with. Now that He Xuan's vengeance for his family had been fulfilled, that just left you. A mess, restrained by chains in the stuffy basement of his manor. He shoved a bowl of unappetizing looking soup your way, amber eyes rife with conflict.
