Where you belong

The morning dew whirled around to form a human like body, the blood stain smell was dispelled by sweet aromatic smell of sweet flowers. The queen's body rose to the mid air. Twigs, small leaves, water droplets, small flowers gathered around her. Her plain blue cloth changed into white satin decorated with gold, pearl ornaments adored her neck, flowers arranged themselves to decorate her flowing black hair into braids. The beauty of the dead was yet to behold. Han Jeun was speechless. The women he loved so much looked the same as their first meeting , but he was blinded and due to his misjudgment his beloved had to suffer so much. The woman who should have ruled over the palace suffered so much in this forest, this was killing him from inside.

Feng Ling and Shui Zhi were already on their knees to welcome the mysterious guest.

"Old Man" Yan spoke"your messengers are slacking off! "

"I'm extremely sorry for your loss my child or may I say my General Yan Shao! "

Da Lu's and Han Jeun's eyes widened in shock. This frail looking weak girl is actually the mighty General of king of Huainian (water and wind domain -the king is same as powerful as a God) who singlehandedly with a small army destroyed the hell gates ?

Now looking closely she might be. The oppressive aura behind her and the fierceness in her eyes, the way she was holding her sword she might be the general after all .

So as for in thin air came out a coffin. He placed both the lady and coffin next to each other. The glass coffin's walls were decorated with small works of gold.

"Yan! Do the ceremonies the dead can't.. "

"She is not dead! She is just sleeping. Sleeping for sometime. She is too tired for taking care of me. She is just playing a prank. She will wake up. When I go and bring her favorite flowers the white lilies she will wake up. She is just too tired and sleeping.... "she broke down. The mighty general was now weak and vulnerable as a small beast of prey.

The king remembered his beloved loved white lilies and had also brought few with him. "My daughter I.. '

" I am not your daughter! "Her shiny blue eyes turned red. The dangerous red so as to destroy everything around her.

Feng Ling screamed" Yan control your dragon power you can't release it now! You will destroy all of us! ".

What do u mean not release now? It wasn't until 16 years that Han Jeun himself could release the dragon power now Yan who is merely a child of 15 and a girl can release dragon power on her will?!

Pair of warm hands hugged Yan from behind. The red eyes turned back to normal and she calmed down. The fierceness was gone and the sword disappeared from her hand. She put her guard down.

Feng Ling and Shui Zhi both greeted in chorus" May the queen live for 1000 years".

The clear jade face with only 3 red fire design dots between her eye brows the untold beauty with fiery golden eyes was non other than the Fire queen.

The dragon emperor and Da Lu were quick to be on knees to greet her

"Han Jeun greets the fire queen. May you live for 1000 years"

She was quick to give him a cold shoulder.

"Greatest emperor I don't think I will be able to accept your greetings. Forgive me. "

Such humiliation in a single day was far more than what he has heard all his life.

"Forgive me for my insolence.... "

Feng Ling now has really started to hate this dragon emperor.

"My queen we don't want to give away Xue's body to them. But Yaoyao..."

The emperor was awestruck, they were referring so casually to the empress and princess of Yanjun. But he can neither call her his daughter nor claim his own wife's body.

Fire queen was a lady with reason she knew what was Yan like and what would she do.

"My dearest Yaoyao"totally sweet " death is inevitable in human life. Even though it's not a pleasant feeling but it's much as true as the sun and the moon. "Yan seemed to calm down.

The conversation continued for others but Fire queen entered into the mind of Yan

" Yan your culprit lies in the palace of Yanjun. A pure woman like Xue doesn't deserve neither the life or this kind of death. We will give her a proper burial in the Huanian Country(water and wind domain) . You will be visiting her whenever you want. Calm down my child I know how much you have suffered. I will help you avenge your mother but this is not the right time. And do you think your mother will be happy if you become so miserable "

She was right. She can't be reduced to someone so weak and helpless. She has yet to avenge her mother.

She nodded in agreement.

The coffin opened itself. Yan carried her mother's body took a last look at it and put her on the flower bed inside it. Shui Zhi gestured the white lilies from the near areas rose and decorated themselves around her.

She was just about to close the coffin "Yan we also brought white lilies with us. Let us pay tribute to your mother. " the anxiety in Han Jeun's voice proved his undying love for Xue but what's done can't be undone. He mistook her innocence, she spent 15 yrs of her life in forest, he wasn't with her when she gave birth to Yan and now he couldn't see her before her death.

Fire queen was sure irritated but was not unreasonable. "Yan, let him do the ceremonial right. After all he is still her husband. "

She backed down. The king gestured for the lilies and a servant brought it to him. He placed the lilies near her hands and face.

"Xue" almost choking to his own tears, "Im sorry I couldn't be a good husband, I'm sorry for all my mistakes, I'm sorry I was blind then. When I knew you weren't the one who committed the murder I rushed to you but to find you only gone. I searched for you for several months. I'm sorry for everything I have done I'm sorry I'm sorry..... "he broke down to tears the sight was unbearable . Then came the general Da Lu. He had no flowers, he took out a pouch from his pocket and tied it in Xue's neck.

" Sister, do you remember this? It was your protection pouch you gave me to my first battle. Now I'm giving it back to you. May be in our next life I wish to be your brother again who will protect you. "

Two men crying was an unbearable sight.

The Huainian king waved his hands and the coffin rose up, it was time to take her back.

"Yaoyao I'm taking your mother with me. You can visit her anytime you want. "he knew these words weren't satisfactory but there was nothing they can do.

Han Jeun didn't want that. Afterall she was his wife and the empress.

" Forgive my rudeness but I would like to take back my wife with me to palace. She was the empress.. "

"Did you do your duties as her husband and don't you have a empress now? "the fire queen was fierce. But nothing mattered to yan now. She had lost everything.

She watched as the king and her mother disappeared into the sky.

Da lu broke the silence.

" Yan return to your home with us. "

He didn't fulfill his duty as a husband. He has abandoned his beloved wife and daughter for 15 years now, and now he has to fulfill his duty as a father. Yan I will give you all the love and care of father ten times you lost in these 15 years, he promised to himself.

"Yan return with us to where you belong".
