Life beginning from a glass of water

The supreme elder stretched his fingers slightly as a way of trying to control the tremors that had beset them. Another motivator on why he needed to settle everything today, once and for all.

Not many could understand the sheer torment he had been living under for the past 83 years. Even he could hardly believe it. It only took less than 100 years to transform into the thing he is today. A crazed old man who had nothing other than fear, anger, bitterness, hatred, and overwhelming pain going for him. A revenant who was both a living person and a ghost unwilling to pass on.

Only after the tremors had subsided did he continue with his testimony.

"I was the supreme elder of the Azure Rain Sword Sect for the past 1,000 years, but I was forced to leave that post when I became unfit and too dangerous to hold the post..." Supreme Elder Jiang Huang said with a low dispirited tone.
