DarkXian for #WarprizeJiSeason who asks for a offering from every sect or he’ll unleash hell and death upon the land

None of the gifts from Gusu are good enough however. He wants no gold, no jewels from them

He just want this one jade

Lxc fights so hard at first. He will die before he give his brother to the corrupted Yllz
And soon, the villages near the border all fall
Children and adults, cattle, all slaughtered. The crops burned. All killed by the dead who rose from the earth

Lwj heard that the Yllz wants /him/
His bright wy, changed since the war. Driven mad because Lwj couldn’t protect him

He tries to run to him, to sacrifice himself to stop the massacres. But the Ghost General stops him at the border. This is not what was agreed upon

Gusu need to give him away. Wwx wants to feel the grief brought forth by the offering of the Light Bearer. He wants him given against all will, thrown helpless between his fangs

He wants to take all pure and bright things from them

After the massacre of inland cities and massive exodus toward Gusu, Lxc has no choice. He brings Lwj to Yiling and seals his brother’s cultivation himself. He watch as Lwj is undressed and tied as the Yllz instruction, and carries him, bound, toward the wards

Lwj tells him it’s going to be okay, he’ll be okay but Lxc barely hear him over the thunder in his ears.

There’s the sound of a flute and Lxc wants to take shuoyue and fly away with Wangji, and never come back. He wants to keep his brother safe.

A dark, thick mist rises

He can’t see. He can’t hear anything but the deafening cries of crows and the fluttering of wings, and behind the barely there breathing of Lwj

And then nothing

Wangji’s weight disappears from his arms

He stumbles

Wangji’s not there
Just his forehead ribbon on the ground

(And then Lwj gets railed and takes care of Wwx and feeds and heals him with hole and peace and prosperity is brought back on the land. The end 💘)
