Mother and father had returned a month later covered in blood and scars. A deep scare awakened inside of me as they suddenly hugged me tightly, apologizing for their long departure. I wanted to ask what happened, but they kept a close lid on everything, urging me to never speak of it again. I knew something was up but decided to keep silent, at least for now. My days were far more interesting with my parent's return as I had someone to talk to and play with, and just like that, five years passed by…-

As they stared at me, the expression on my parent's faces was swiftly recorded once they heard I opened my first Meridian. Father was so ecstatic he vanished before bringing back grandfather and his younger brother Grey. Both their eyes grew wide with shock as I explained my process, Grandfather was surprisingly ecstatic, but Grey remained ever cold and distant. He eyed me as if looking for something; I didn't know why but I knew Grey had deeper roots within the Snow family than what was displayed.…

Staring at the long silver spear in my hand, my eyes brighten as I hugged mother, "Thank you, Mama," "Anything for my baby, while I can't train you with the spear, I will oversee your training with the bow." Mother had a happy smile on her face as she led me to the training hall. The stench of sweat and blood assaulted my nostrils as I heard loud shouts in the distance. There had seemed to be a major battle today as everyone was gathered together. Standing in the middle of the arena stood two…

After my soothing bath, the maid smiled lovingly, "there you are, young master; you look perfect." Staring at my hair tied in an elegant ponytail, I beamed as I stared at myself in a mini suit. It would seem my little cultivation session greatly had a massive impact. My skin looked flawless, while my bone structure seemed to have adjusted, making me look even cuter. I might be a lady killer in the future...well, at least I'll be two types of lady killers. Laughing at my own joke, I smiled kindly at…

Smiling brightly, I smirked as he stared at me with pride and pity. It was odd being pitied; it somehow leaves me with a bittersweet taste in my mouth. Patting me on the head, he turned around, ready to leave, "it's almost dinner time, study your...Ummm, how do you know how to read?" He asked in bewilderment. Pausing for a moment, it suddenly came to me, "I-I-can...that's weird," None of these people speak English, Chinese, Swedish, or Japanese, and I learned to understand them by listening to Mother…

Staring at the grand door as it closed all on its own, I groaned; making a name for yourself is so annoying. I hate talking to people, but there is always some game to play. "Young master, if you would please follow me," a soft voice soundly said, giving me a good fright. Nodding at the kind-looking butler with no discerning features, I followed after him for a few minutes before walking into a magnificent room. My mind blanked as I stared at the room that looked as if it was something from a fantasy…

The room was unusually silent when father and I stepped in. Several eyes stared coldly at us, or rather Father as if wondering what he was doing here. "Brother? So you have returned. Father, how could you not inform us of Val's return. We need to celebrate." Staring at the young man with long pointed ears and ashen hair, my mind distorted in thought regarding his race. His eyes held a deep shade of darkness, reminding me of Father's, but deep within his pupils held a hint of crimson radiating out.…

Staring silently out at the countryside, I gazed at father with a questioning look, "Where is Mother? Did she not come on this trip." Shaking his head, Father smiled bitterly, "She is coming. She just had to resign from the governor's position. She should be arriving by tomorrow," Nodding absentmindedly, I stared out slowly, getting lost in the view. Hours began to pass as we were brought an elegant-looking meal for lunch. It was, in my opinion, poorly made, lacking in every possible manner aside…

Hundreds of thoughts filled my mind as I opened my eyes, remembering my emotional state with Mother. A grimace spread across my face as I looked down at my hands. My thoughts were faster, and I felt far stronger, but there was something off about me...I didn't feel complete, as if something was broken. Throwing that thought to the back of my mind, I arose from the bed before gazing at Father lying next to me, watching over me with care. "So you awoke, did you sleep well, sène," He asked using a new…

I could still hear his screams, the shattering of bones, the burnt smell of flesh. I could still visibly remember him thrashing around on the floor covered in flames. We tried everything we could, gathering hundreds of different heavenly waters, the best doctors' money could buy...but nothing worked. Arsène had gone silent after a while, but every so often, his loud shriek would fill my courtyard. Agony and shame would always consume me, but I had to keep strong and hope my baby would survive....that…
