Promises

Heichi left her with them over two weeks. During that time, he went back to his family for getting the special pieces for her. His father had fighter's treasure so he request to have armor, helmet and sword for her. His father denied to give one to him. So, he stole the helmet and etc from his father's treasure room. Then, he took out his scales on his body to build the hardest armor for protecting her life. But mother knew he is doing this on his own. His mother was getting angry when she saw this so she run as fast as she can to the king. She entered to the room without knocking the door. She said directly "how can you be heartless". The dragon king said "what did I do". She said "alright then go and see yourself to your son". He thought his wife is over covering her son very much that's the reason why he become nonsense person who always break the rules. The dragon king stood up from the chair and follow the empress. The empress led the way to her son's room. When they arrived, she point her finger to the circle stone window by saying "look yourself". The dragon king peeked inside the circle window and he found out his son was hurting himself for making an armor. He suddenly pushed open the door and said "what have you done my son". His son was bleeding a lot because of removing scale from his body. He called out the dragon doctor for putting medicine over his wounds. His son said "don't worry I will be alright". He said "No, it won't be alright". This is the first time he saw his son become foolish at love. He felt heartbreak to see his son's hurting himself. At last, he allowed him to take some armor and everything he want from his treasury room. But he said "you must take those back after the battle". His son said "Yes, I promise father". Then, his son accepted medication over his body. It must take a week to recover fully. Before he left, father warned him over and over again to not get in battle however her life in danger. He knew how weak the dragon is after removing the scales. His son was being young at age so he can recover at fast. But that wasn't recovering fully. His mother gave the precious pearl hair pin and black pearl charm. He asked her why did you give those to me". His mother said "it's for my future daughter in law you two might get marry soon right my son". He was surprising over his mother. He said "how did you know". His mother told him "mother know the best". Then, she pushed him out of the kingdom by saying "go for it don't be late".

He flew up to the sky by jumping out from the ocean at morning. He took those in his mouth and head straight to the place she lived. He was landing on the ground when he get near. He changed his body back to human form. At that time, he heard the moving voice behind him. He didn't know what is it. So, he turned carefully to his back and saw her. She was burying something in the ground. He walked forward to look what is she trying to do. When he got a closer look, she bury her hair in the flower printed box and the scroll in the ground. He didn't want to disturb her so he just watch behind the bamboo trees. After she finished, she walk back into the house of doctor's. The phoenix doctor's place was getting near to the Peizhan's peach forest. She decided to do something before she go to battle. At that time, he didn't know that she plan to sacrifice herself to save her sister. He walked into the room but he can't see her existence at there. He looked around the place and see her at last. She was bathing inside the room. He didn't want to disturb her but he notice her hair become rough and splits. So, he decided to use the extra treatment for her hair during she take her time to bath. He took the dragon's pearl hair mask and put his tiny blood drop and mix. Then, he sit behind her and grab her hair. She woke up when he do that. She covered her body with hand and said "what are you doing". He said "just stay still I am doing treatment to your hair". He took the bucket to rinse her hair after hair treatment. He didn't want her to show off herself at battle field like this. During the time he did face mask and hair mask for her, he told her everything behind their past. But she was falling to sleep back because she feel relax. He was saying everything at that time and rubbing her back with sponge and taking care of her. When finished the bath, he wiped her body with some clothes and carry her to the bed. The sleeping lady wasn't waking up. So, he just waited her to wake up by looking at her face.

Just like her, he kept dream about the tiny little girl who helped him inside somewhere forest. And then, he saw that girl is running away from hunters and villagers. He felt hurt and tight in his chest when he see her get hurt. The villagers were hurting that girl and later they hire the hunter to kill and take out the pancreas from her. He saw everything back as replay cut scenes. He wanted to know what's behind this dream. Sometime he felt unwell when he put his branch hair pin on his head. The phoenix doctor knew about their past but he won't say anything before they ask. But the phoenix thought back to years he meet those two. He was being the phoenix live at forest near Haerbin. He knew the nine tailed fox who ran away from home live there too. He guarded that gray nine tailed fox because of the friendship. The fox king and queen of Pei mountain was being his old friends over those years and he is friend of their siblings too. The little gray fox broke the rules of Pei mountain and run away from home because of Peizhan. She kept jealous at Peizhan over years. Peizhan became the goddess easily and get the permission to learn at Kunlun mountain. For her, she was staying inside the Pei mountain with family and she fail to go there for becoming a goddess. After she ran away from home, she do hunt animals inside the forest and sometime she hunt the pets in the village. The villagers disliked her existence so they keep hurt her somehow. One day, she decided to take a revenge over human who throw the stones and sticks to her. At that time, she started kill the human. She ate up the pancreas and intestines. After that day, she got the guideline from other forest demons. They told her "you can change yourself to beautiful human form if you wished". She said "what else do I need to do". They said "you need to eat up 1000 people's heart and pancreas and also eat up their soul". She followed their guidelines and kill the people when they climbed up to the mountain. She didn't catch and hunt people who don't hurt her at past. She attacked the people who keep disturb her all the time. Living that way, she became wilder and it's hard to control herself. Before met him in person, she count the killing people at 999. Suddenly, meet him near her cave. He was lying down to the ground with several wounds. She didn't think he still alive. So, she kept herself closer to him to listen the breath. When she got closer to his nose, she put her ears to feel the exhale and inhale. She felt the slow inhale and exhale then she know she must hurry to save this person's immediately. She didn't know why she want to do that. She knew that might dangerous for her. But she dragged him into her cave and put him on the stone bed where she sleep at night. And then, she changed herself to human form and find the herbs to treat his wounds. When she put her nose to get his scent, his scent told her that he is not a bad person. She noticed he is wearing the strange clothes make with metal. At fox land, they only used the metal at their sword and other pieces not to wear. And then, she grined the herbs by using grind stones. She took some big leaves and vines and wash those completely in the cold river. With her treatment, his conditions turned to good. She kept wait and treat him all the time. She didn't go out for hunting animals. One day, he opened his eyes and see the beautiful girl beside him. She was turning back to go out the cave after changing the bandages on his wounds. He tried to move out from the bed. Suddenly, his hand crash the pot near his bed. The girl heard the cracking sound of pot so she come back into the cave. He was saying sorry to her and ask where he is right now. However, he kept ask her with many words. She didn't reply him a word. And he realized that the girl can't talk. He knew he must find himself if he wanted to know where he is. She only wanted him to fully recover and leave.

They lived up together until he fully recover and go back to his kingdom over months. During those days, their relationship became stronger than before. She didn't talk anything to him but he understand what he must do behind her. She didn't notice the villagers see them together. One of the village man who climb up the mountain to get some herb saw her as a girl. So, the villager followed her all along the way she take. She went down the cliff as normal and find the herbs. At that time, the villager shouted out loud like he is seeing the ghost. The man in the cave heard that noisy sound then he worry about her. He didn't know the path ways of the forest but he try to find her inside the forest. At there, he found her digging the herb. She was being so beautiful for him. When he looked closer to her hand, she had the fur and claws. He said gasp. And then, he ran away from her as fast as he can. He thought she is something weird. Now, he woke up and want to get away from her. But she didn't know what he see. She took the big mushrooms and the other herbs for cooking. He rushed pick up his stuffs and wear the armor back and take the sword. She arrived at the right time. She saw he is dressing up so she want to know where he want to go. She knew he isn't fully recover. But he pushed her away to get out from the cave. He threw away his hair pin make by her. She thought they love each other as human. Now, she realized that she is getting wrong. He took benefit upon her during those days and months. She tried to change herself for becoming human and live with him at human world. Her dreams has broken in one day. The person who saw everything is phoenix god. After he left, she become bad fox. The villager told the village head man about the girl he saw inside the deep forest area. The village head man and elders told him about what he saw. They noticed that girl might be the nine tailed fox who eat human's heart , pancreas and soul to become human form. So, they discussed for a while and hired the hunter to take the heart of nine tailed fox. The village elders knew the heart of nine tailed fox is the powerful thing to eat under the red moon night. The week before red moon they got the hunter who has experience about hunting the demonic animals. So, they paid him and show the way to reach the nine tailed fox cave. The hunter requested them to give him the thing which is relating with the nine tailed fox. They gave the scarf of general to him. They told him "if the nine tailed fox get the scent of this man she will come over to you". Then, the hunter took the red scarf with him. Before everything happened the general who lost the path to go back and join his team, the villagers took him to the village and lock him up inside the secret place. When he got lock up, he found out the truth. The human were being bad than the demons. She might be the demon who lived in forest. She helped him and save the life no matter what. She could lock him up inside her place or eat him. She didn't do anything like that. After they took his scarf, he was worrying about her. However, she was being the young girl. They might hunt and kill her somehow to take her precious furry coat and intestines. So, he was finding something to untie his hands. They tied him up at the back but they accidentally forget the kitchen knife on the table. He moved his legs to reach the table. He couldn't reach so he try again and again. At last, he got the knife so he take it by using foot. And then, he used his foot to cut the rope to untie quickly. The lady who forgot the knife come back into the room. She was finding the knife everywhere. And then, she found out he is taking her knife to free himself. She took the knife away from him by using all of her strength. He didn't let go of the knife at all. Finally, he got a cut over his neck. He die at that room. After he dead, the lady was shivering so much to see the dead man in front of her eyes. So, she ran away from him. His body falling down to the floor. But his soul felt free and then he run as fast as he can to find her. He couldn't control his soul body to find someone inside the forest.

When he saw her, she has taken away by the group of men. They weren't seem like nice people. But she has no choice at that time. He felt relieve to see her safe. After that he was finding his way to go back to his team, he don't know he's dead. When he saw his team, he went into their tent and listen what they say. They were leaving him inside the forest to dead. They didn't even want him to coach the team as a leader. He wanted to fall down to the floor. Suddenly, he felt nothing from his hands and legs. He was shocking and don't know what's happening upon him. Then, he saw the man who wear black hat and white hat were moving closer to him. He asked them with shaky voice "who are you and why are you here". They told him "we are here to take you to the kingdom of dead". He said "no, it can't be possible I am free now and I pushed the bad woman away". Then, they took out the mirror and give it to him. They said "look yourself inside the mirror and tell us what you see". He took the mirror from them and look himself. He was looking inside the mirror but the mirror show nothing. He said "it can't be possible". And then, he moved up to the helmet sitting place to look himself. His image wasn't showing off over the reflecting objects. They said "now you see". He said "I am not seeing anything you guys play trick over me". The white guy and black guy looked at each other's face and said "why do we trick upon you". Then, they grabbed his hands and drag to the kingdom of dead. He met the death seiz and others to know which ways he must go after dead. The death seiz gave him a chance to live at human world over sixty lives. So, the white and black men sent him to the places where he must start his life. During he took his time to spend at human world. The gray nine tailed fox was spending her life with demons. Later, she got the right track to become the immortal. The phoenix knew the story of them. So, he kept watch over them and saying them to not lose each other once again. Only they didn't remember those things. The phoenix never rest and die since they birth. They kept everything they see inside their memories. For him, he liked to see that couple over years how they spend their life each other without remember a little.

One day, the phoenix invited white god and green god to come over his place to drink the thousand years old peach wine. At place of Qingyo mountain, his wine was being the best. So, the white god and green god accepted his invitation and come over. He was greeting and invite them to come inside his tiny nest home. They came in and spend their time with him. During the time they ate and drink, the phoenix asked them "can I tell about the hidden things behind the couple". The white god told him "don't do that to break the storyline". The green god told him "you must do that it can improve the storyline". And then, the both gods started to fight with words. He was confusing over watch them fight each other. Finally, he felt mess to be with them so he shout out loud for stopping them. They stopped after he shout out loud. His loud noise ever woke up the sleepy owls inside the tree trunks. He said "I just invite and ask you guys to say and not to say to the couple". He continued with sad face "I afraid what if this life might be their last to see each other". The two gods said "how can we know if you want to do that so just do without thinking". He said "that's right thanks you guys". And then, he moved towards the house where the couple live.

When he reached out the door, he peek inside the house. There was no one inside the house. He wandered where do they go. So, he was searching them around the house. And then, he saw the dragon who come up to the house by flying up from the sky. The girl wasn't staying near the house. He thought she might go near the cliff again. As he thought, she is sitting near the peach tree and looking at the sunset. He moved closer to her without getting notice. She was shocking when he call her name. He said "what are you doing here". She said "you frighten me I thought you as Heichi". She said "I miss my family and sister so I climb up here to look at the sunset". She continued "at my home we do watch the sunset and dawn everyday together". She said "now, I feel alone without her it's like missing my half body". He took a seat near her by saying "I understand because I remember someone I know at the past". She asked really who is this girl. Then, he told the story of the girl and the boy who love each other. But they couldn't belong together much longer. She asked why is that. He said because of the boundaries of the different world. She looked back to the sky and say "just like the happening between me and him". He told her the story about the general and the nine tailed fox. She didn't know why her chest feel tighten and tears fall down. She remembered the hair pin which she saw at the time he safe her life at first and then the second time at Xisha's palace. He used to put that hair pin all over those days. He might be the general inside the story of phoenix. So, she looked at the face of phoenix directly to ask "is that true". The phoenix nodded to her by saying "Yes". She asked him "what's happened to him after he leave her". The phoenix told her the ending of the story. She asked him "do you think that person is love the demon girl". He said "Yes, I can tell this". She asked "what happened to the demon girl". He told her everything related to her and demon king Shamo. She was surprising over her past life. She said "the demon king save my life and I do everything for him at my past life and now he want me to build his body back again". She continued "don't you think it's horrible and unfair for me". He told her "the demons and evils never think the fair and unfair case". He continued "if they help you once and give you some part of their power, you owed them over the next lives". She said "so you just try to say I must pay my debt back this time". He told her "Yes, by defeating him to be freedom". She said "Yes, that 's right I must do that for him". When they finished conversation, Heichi arrive. She said "Heichi, what do you take for me on your trip". Heilong smiled towards her and said "You will see". And then, he bowed to greet the phoenix doctor.

Then, she followed him along by holding hands. She didn't know where he lead to go. He was taking her to the place which look beautifully peaceful. It's the lake side and the flowers are blooming around. He put the wooden table and chair at there. She got it what he plan to do. But she tried to act like don't know. She felt horrible in her chest but she hold her temper for not showing this to him. He was taking out the chair for her. She took a seat where he prepare for her. Then, he put the fruits and dishes which he take from his home and her hometown. She surprised to see the snacks and sweets she like so much. She said "aren't those from hometown". He nodded and smile to her. She said "incredible I might be lucky person to get the dragon near me". Then, her face turned to sad reaction "I am feeling well here but what about my sister". She said "I don't know she may sleep, eat and pass the days well as me". She continued "if the prince min will treat her nice as human, that may be good for them". She said "but now he is so evil". During she say, she started cry out loud. He didn't know what to do. So, he stood up from the chair in front of her and move himself beside her to cover her tears. She accepted his shoulders and hide her face and crying. He knew that time isn't right to propose her. She put the big duties on her shoulders and she can't even rest and stop a while. He knew everything and now he just do that to her. He couldn't forgive himself. All he needed to do is waiting her stop crying. Whenever she cried, his heart start ach without a reason. He told about this issue to phoenix doctor once. The doctor told him "that might happened if you deeply in love with someone". Now, he knew she can't accept any romantic happening before her family members and others free from that demon. Their day stopped like this without happening anything. She let go of herself for fighting in the battle of freedom. She didn't want herself free from the battle this time. If she failed, she will die. That's what she thought inside her mind always.

Before she went fight the demon king and his fellows, Heilong proposed her romantically. At that day, she was surprising to get a black pearl gift from him. He wanted to take her to dragon palace. But she didn't agree him. She just accepted his propose and then she said "I can't think of something like that for now I will marry you after the battle". They made their promise. She wore the black pearl charm on her robe. He was guiding her all the way she practice how to fight the demons. This time the white god and her seniors joined into the practice. They taught her how to get the spiritual power back to defeat the demon king well. Also Peizhan and the nine tailed fox family's warriors accompany to them. Heilong and his other cousins helped her a lot. She was feeling thankful by getting a lot of help and guidance from them. Her teacher White God said "we are always by your side don't worry we will win this time". She could only said "thanks you guys".

Today is the destine day to fight with demon warriors. She was wearing the armor and prepare her sword. Suddenly, she heard someone's entering into her tent. So, she was just hiding behind the mirror and watch. There she saw Heilong who was entering the tent. In his hand, he held the big iron box. She wanted to know what is inside. He put it on the table and look around. Then, she came out from hiding place. He was shocking to see her. So, she said "is there everything okay". He said "it's fine just freaking out". She said "what are you saying". He said "check this out I take this armor for you". She said "for me what is this". He opened the lid of the iron box slowly to show her in a while talking to her about the things inside. She couldn't open her eyes normally because of the bright light. She said "what is it". He held her face and said "look its dragon armor special made for you". She said "it's real dragon armor cool". And then, he put that out from the box and tries to put on her body. The dragon armor looked a much heavier. When she put on, it's light weight and ease to move along. She said "it isn't tough to move around". She continued "with my iron armor it's heavier and hard to move around". During she talked to him, he comb her hair and put something on. She couldn't look herself so she just ask "what is it". He said "it's something to protect you from evil forces". She said "okay". And then, she waited him get done. He was putting the pearl hair pin which he take from his mother. Then, he put the helmet on her head. After that, he held her head and look straight to her eyes. He said "promise me to come back full after the battle". She said "I promise I will come back to you". The couple touch their forehead over a minute. She was tearing up at that time. She felt she can't come back after the battle. But she couldn't say this to him because she love him so much. She remembered everything about their past and now they must separate again. On his side, he believed himself and upon her. She would defeat him and save her family and people of her countries this time. They would hold the wedding ceremony after saving people. He got the permission from his mother and father also. He chose to live in human world by leaving all of his power and title. He knew that he may break the rule of heaven. But he decided to this right now.

The dressed up Shu Yin came out from her tent. And then, she looked around her fellows and the generals who decide to help her this time. After passing the warriors and generals, she walk straight to the green god and white god. She said "even if I lose, will you help my sister and family out from the prison". White god said "we can't promise to you this time because you must do it yourself". The team of heaven warriors shouted out loud "we never lose we must win". She smiled and said "we must win whatever it takes". Then, she took her place at the front line of the army. She held her bow and put the arrow to get ready to shoot. She stand by for a second to clear the target point and shoot. Her target was getting clear and it go inside the palace. Her arrow reached the right spot at the head of the throne. The prince Min was getting shock to see the arrow above his head. However, the country had king and crown prince the country was getting worse than before. It's all because he took the power of over all country and control everyone including his parents. He never felt them as his own parents and family. So, he even killed his siblings who born by other concubines of his father. His mother told him how much they worry about him. He never understood their feeling over him at all. He said "if you guys worry about me that much what about those children who live at palace not like me". They didn't know how to answer his question back. This time, he decided to remove the revolutionist who mess with him. He wanted to marry and make her as his own like her sister. But she denied to marry and keep fighting him as enemy. If he got those two, he become most powerful demon of the world. It's what he wanted and try to make it happened.

He was digging himself into the several thoughts. And then, he heard the shout voices of his fellows and he go out from his throne room for checking out what's going on. When he went out, the fire arrows were attacking the palace and everywhere. He shouted angrily and order his fellows to start fight them back. His fellows came out from everywhere including from the ground. He called all of his demons and other bad things. Some of them used the dead people's body to cover in fight. The human girl's army won't fight the innocent people. So, they knew that may work for them. When they got closer to the gate, the gate and wall collapsed down to the ground because of cannon balls. The devils, evils and others frightened to see the falling down wall and didn't know what to do next. The prince Min rearranged his fellows and get out by passing the gate and ready to fight. He looked for her existence inside the front line and second line. She was staying at second line because front line take place by the white god and green god's warriors. Then, he noticed the black dragon near by her side. He wanted to know what's the dragon doing here. For a while, he checked over them. His palace and places he made for his fellows were getting destroy by their attack. The prisoners and others ran away from there. The temple of him was making for his demons, evils and devils to stay. Also it's used for taking place of eating human flesh. They trapped the humans inside the basement of temple. When the temple destroyed, his angry state risen up. She wanted him to cry out loud as her sister did. She also wanted him to fight her directly too. That's the reason why she plan this battle field to defeat him one by one. He didn't care to kill him. He had many things he own and can't touch and destroy by anyone. She knew his weakness well. After having the same nightmare over years, she got this imagination via him. Not only he could sense and find her but also she could do exactly the way he do. Now, he was shaking with anger. She was waiting him to come up to attack. A minute later, he raised his sword and ride the black horse by shouting "attack". Just like that, the battle started and the couple and the warriors trust each other. They do believe they would win this time. She shouted "attack" right after he move on.
