Jin looked sad as he approached the carriage ready for him, his lips are curved and eyes are lazy, the soldiers are preparing to leave as well as Master Long and Shao Qi
"papa!" Jin said
"Jin what's wrong
"can't I stay?" asked the prince, Fei Xu sigh and touched Jin's shoulder
"Jin, you are not allowed to stay here for too long, you are still in need of training and power control" Fei Xu exclaimed
"but why? the only difference is that my eyes, why am I so different from you guys!!" Jin roared
"talk about that I was also golden eyed prince before!!" says Fei Xu
"but you can control it, why must I not"
Fei Xu heaved some air and pulled Jin for a walk
"Jin, it's not easy for us both to control our power, our eyes attract devil and sin, and the result is a breakthrough for our mind to do evil, I can control mine, because I am strong but not as strong as your power, you need lots of time, meditation and control and when you can control yourself, I promise you will come to the palace" Fei Xu said trying to make Jin a little light
Jin just hugged his father and gave a wry smile before getting inside the carriage, Fei Xu felt guilty, his son never met his cousins, but that's better since being at the palace is like living with wild animals ready to devour you, not to mention Jin is still a threat in the eyes of the emperor and up til now he can't stop asking about Jin, but what the emperor knew is that Jin is growing up as someone weak and stupid living in prayers and bad experience, he didn't know Xu is visiting him and has Master Long training him to kill and go at war to defeat his ass, but he will surprise them all once the time comes
the carriage moved out of the camp, Jin was sad and cold while sitting down infront of Master Long
"Jin, what's wrong?" asked Master long
"nothing, It's so hot!!!" Jin complained, he removed some of his clothes and put his hair up in high pony
"it's a little cold early in the morning how is it hot?" Master long said
"I don't know?"
the carriage suddenly pulled and stopped at the market, noises and odor of food attracted Jin as well as the bright colors outside the curtains
"why did we stop?" Jin asked, Shao Qi opened the curtain and smiled
"I wanted to buy some materials before we go back, Jin put on some veil hat and go with your father!" Jin's eyes glowed and his sad curved lips turn to a smile
"r-really uncle!" he said exited, The other window curtain opened revealing Fei Xu holding a white Veil Hat
"put this on and come with me!" Prince Xu was also using veil hat to cover himself so no one will notice he is a prince
the father and son marched away secretly watched by other soldiers, Shao Qi made a face and pulled master long towards the deep part of the market
"what are you doing!!" Master Long complained
"I wanna make cakes when we get back, you show me more ingredients and secrets so let's go buy food materials!!" Shao Qi grinned a smile and exitement made him dance away with the complaining Master Long
"wait wait, don't you pull me Shao Qi-"
all day long, each went to their destination inside the market, Master Long and Shao Qi, bought food and ingredients and stock them on the empty boxes and strode away once more to find more mushrooms and herbs, soldiers also went out to stroll and drink while the father and son, Wondered around the city
"Dad, the capital is full of people?" Jin started
"yes son, this place is full of people, childrens and soldiers and also, families" Fei Xu explained
"you see that fountain?" Fei Xu pointed on a fountain, there are childrens and family strolling around happily
"this is called a family park, there are vibrant trees and green grasses filled with flower perfect for bonding of a family, it is where families gather together!" Fei Xu smiled
"Papa, where is my mom?" asked Jin, Fei Xu did not respond but stiffen his lips
"your mother-"
"is long gone? sorry Dad I asked!!" Jin frowned
"it's okay-" Fei Xu sat down and pulled Him to sit down
"your mom, will always watch over us!!!" says Fei Xu
"you and I are no different in this world, I believe that our purpose is not all about coming in this earth to be a monster, we are both family Jin and even if we are not complete or I'm always away, we are still family" Fei Xu explained and gripped his hands tight
"Dad, I know? even if you are not close and always away, in my heart I am connected to you, Master Long and Shao Qi is a family too, they are always there for us Dad" Jin hugged his father
"I know one day I'll understand it all, and I will, when I return in this place, I wanna help you solve what is wrong!!!" says Jin, Fei Xu formed a smile in his lips and cried
in the middle of their bond a carriage with many guides, maids and soldiers came along the busy road and caught the attention of many people
"Dad who are they?" Jin asked
"stay behind me!!!"
three prince came out of the carriage and 3 more princess, they are all looking high and gracious full of looks of beauty and royalty
"Dad who are they?" asked Jin once more
"they are, palace royals- the sons and daughters of your late uncles!" Fei Xu was alarmed and pulled Jin somewhere hidden
"they are my cousins?"
"yes, but I cannot allow you to know them, most of them are vicious like their fathers- Jin we have to go, I cannot let them see me here!!" Fei Xu and Fei Jin walked away from the crowd and found somewhere better
Jin and Fei Xu climbed up the tower, the highest tower in all Zhu state that can view the image of the land that hugs the 3 cities, Jin can even see the hill of Misty forest, the road where it will lead you to the temple
"papa, why are my cousins all vicious?" seems like Jin has many questions
"some are not but most of them is, but I pity them because they grew up without a father" Fei Xu explained
"I heard, the emperor? My grandpa killed your siblings? why?" Jin looked up to his father
"that is true Jin, you are old enough to know"
"My father is the emperor of Zhu state, and being born in the royal palace, I was an outcast and has no power to take the throne, if people knew about me? a father of catastrophe, people will not accept me as their king because in ancient times people believe that a golden eyed prince is a curse from hell" Fei Xu sigh and looked down the city
"so if they do not chose you, then-"
"I can only guard the borders and protect the people under the command of the king!" Fei Xu explained
"but that's unfair?" Jin complained
"I know, but I believe this land needs peace, you and me is not different we are just gifted, Jin when you turn your age you will come back here and help me solve everything" says Fei Xu
"dad, I do feel it too, that this land is not peaceful, so many rebels and bad people roaming around the city, though it looks beautiful in the outside, it's vicious and ugly in the inside, If I rule the land will that be possible?" Jin started looking at his father in the eye, Fei Xu smiled and closed his eye, when he opened them it's golden sun just like Fei Jin's pretty eyes
"Fei Jin what do you see in my eyes?"
"I see gold?"
"that's all?"
"No!"
"what then?" Fei Xu looked at his dear son
"I see my image in gold full of peace and majesty" Fei Xu closed his eyes again but this time it's crimson red
"now what do you see!"
"a dark warlord full of evil mixed with sin and bad intentions" Jin frowned
"Jin, I have decided to steal the throne for you and if we succeed there will be peace"
"how?" Jin asked
"first, gain people's trust, second clear the enemy, third plan out and ask the heaven for help, there might be pain and suffering but if we want peace, we must endure" Fei Xu closed his eyes and turned them back to normal
"Jin, keep your eyes gold since it symbols peace"
"Father- I promise that everything will turn out good, when I rule the land, I'll make sure that people will know me as the king with golden eyes who gave this land peace!!!" he smiled
Jin looked up the skies, it's beautiful and red touching the golden rays of the fading sun, Jin pulled out his blade and cut his hair short that Fei Xu can see his neck
"Jin what are you doing?" Fei Xu's eyes widened
"Dad, I wanna be different just like how we are different, I wanna cut my hair short!!!" he smiled
"you want your hair short, but I can see your neck?" says Xu
"I want it shorter dad!!!"
Fei Xu grabbed Fei Jin's hair and tied them for security, Fei Xu smiled and said
"tell master long to cut it better when we go back!" he giggled, the father and son went back down back to the carriage and prepared to leave
when they arrived Shao Qi and Master Long is full of smile in their faces followed by two carriage of market stocks
"oh look Jin, when we go back I'll make you the most delicious cake you have ever- what happened to your hair!!!" Shao Qi glared at Fei Xu
"don't look at me, he wanted them short!!!" Shao Qi was about to cry and went to Jin full of worry
"why!!!" Shao Qi cried louder
"I wanted to be different Master Shao Qi" Jin felt guilty bur he liked short hair
"I combed that for so many years!!!" Shao Qi killed Xu with his eyes
"but I feel more handsome in this hairstyle Shūshu!!!" Jin replied, Shao Qi's face turned serious
"fine, but I'm mad at you!!!!" Shao Qi glared
"here, his hair" Xu gave him Jin's long hair tied in red thread
"humph!" Shao Qi cried, pulled the hair and went to the carriage upset
"oh no!"
"he's mad"
"Don't worry Dad he will get over it!!!" after that they all set out to the Misty Mountain, This time the father and son is going in their separate ways
"Jin'er, be good okay?" Fei Xu hugged his son one last time
"yes Dad I will!!!" he hugged back
The thread is broken going in their separate ways towards the unknown future, but Jin kept in mind that thread can always be tied again once the time has come, Jin also remembered Yunxi, she has his fan and he treasured that the most, perhaps it will return to him one day
"Han Yunxi!" he smiled and leaned on his back while looking up the graceful moon
The fairy camp stayed in Zhu state for 6 months healing the wounded people, there seem to be no end to it as they camp village after village, but as Yunxi heals she also gains knowledge in healing people or make poisons and antidote with the help of the doctors she is with, Yunxi also kept the fan with her wherever she goes considering it as her lucky charm
Xiuming fought rebels and anyone who tried to attack villagers, he gained strength and power as he goes on training and meditating while protecting people, he was glad he was able to come out of the palace and experience something new in the outside, at least when battles and has things come his way he is now brave to counter down his enemy
Fei Xu finally gained victory after countering the attack of rebels and the enemy at the other kingdom, though he is not happy, he knows that if he gains victory the pride of his father will continue to go up and think he is the most powerful person in all the land, he also saved the soldiers of the enemy and spared their life and secretly go to their hometown to avoid more deaths
At the temple of Dragon, Jin balanced himself in his sword topless and comfortable, he is controling rocks and blades up in the air combining his power to his mind and command materials to move
"good Jin, since you can control materials, I'll show you how to control the wind and nature"
Says Shao Qi, Jin smiled and went down to his sword
"I'm exited, I've always wanted to know how to control wind element!!!" he laughed
"If course I will teach you, you are my dear boy and greatest apprentice!!" Says Shao Qi
Aqi came with a cakes in her hand and asked Jin to have some
"Master, young prince, come and eat?" she said before walking away
"Jin, you always wear white silk and thin clothes!!" he said, looking at Jin's appearance he wants to cry, because the little baby he wanted to kill but loved is all grown up with muscular body and handsome fiture, his hair is not long but is always cut short, his Golden eyes is making him more handsome as he moves and his body makes a woman droll over his appearance
"ah, my son- you are as handsome as me!!!" Shao Qi cried and gave him cakes
Shao Qi never gets old, and just like Fei Xu he does not age and has the appearance of 25 years old man looking noble and high even though he is a hundred years old, Master long was different though since looking at him is making Jin upset and cry, his long dark hair is turning silver but at least he is really bold and has the strength of strong man
