Won was led across a pink lotus leaf road, through countless bodies of flesh, to the front.
He sat down on a chair and patiently awaited the ceremony.
Pink leaves were tossed into the sky, and were carried by warm winds.
Won reached dpwn to pick a petal, and as he turned his head he saw a body suddenly appear to his right.
His eyes widened in shock.
A smile switched on to his face.
He laughed, "Yuna, I don't think you're supposed to be here."
Yuna smirked and said, "Why not?"
Won threw his head back, and then turned to look at her again.
A laugh escaped his lips.
"Ah. You're really my style."
Yuna tapped his nose and said, "Hm. I know. You're not half bad yourself."
Won crossed his legs and laid his head on his hand and asked, "Then why don't you marry me?"
Yuna touched her chin and said, "Why don't you say you love me first."
Won slouched, "Ai. We both are stubborn bulls I really don't understand how you expect us to marry. I'm sure even if you love me you would be tight lipped."
Yuna looked straight at Won and mused, "Love? How could I possibly love someone who's rarely been truthful with me. You've almost never shown me your true self, so how could I fall in love."
Won asked, "Don't humans find pleasure in escapism? In the fantasy?"
Yuna said, "No matter how beautiful and wonderful escapism is, no matter how blissful and fantastic fantasy is. In the end one will awaken to the painful reality."
Won stared dazed into her eyes.
Won laughed, "Then are you sure you can bare staring into my eyes? Can you bare the truth hidden inside?"
Yuna said, "These two years I have already learnt who you are. No matter how great an actor you are, the slightest things you do enter my vision. I know who you are Won. Yet I have not run. So tell me the truth."
Won stuttered, "I... I..."
Yuna slouched in her chair, "You don't need to tell me today, nor tommorow. I just hope one day you can trust me enough to be true to yourself in front of me."
Won looked at her, his eyes having glazed over.
He asked, "Why? Will you love me then?"
Yuna looked back and said, "I will."
The wind swept the leaves below into the sky allowing them to flutter around these two.
Two years.
They had spent many moments in the comfort of each other, unbeknownst to them easing their fears and brewing desire for affection together.
Perhaps fate had not meant them to be, but like this strange wind they had just suddenly happened. Like a bright blaze that ignited day light.
As they sought the other's hearts for their own selfish needs, they neglected the fact their own heart was being similarly robbed. They fell in love.
In these two years of constant rebuttal and conflict, a seed of love had forced it's way into these two fools hearts.
Won laughed and turned his head away, "Who said I'll accept your love!"
Yuna chuckled softly, beautifully like the chime of bells, "You don't know? You're already promised to me. You named Won are already mine! It's just a matter of time."
Won seemed to ignore her.
Yuna pulled him by the collar. His face was so close to hers that he could feel her breath. The warmness radiating subtly from his cheeks onto his.
She then said, "You got that. So you can lean on me when you need it. When you need a shoulder to lean on. You're already mine, and I'm already yours."
She gulped down her anxiety and said, "So when you want to come to me."
Won stared deeply into those black eyes that did not waver once as they spoke such warm and sweet words.
A electrifying sensation raced across Won. They danced across his scarred heart.
Tears began to bead on his eyes.
Won nodded and said, "I'll do as you say."
The sweetly smiled at each other.
...
A silence pervaded the crowds gathered to witness the marriage of the Prince Imperial Roku and the Ying Princess Yuan'er.
A man and woman in red and white followed by Eunuchs and Court ladies, they made their way across a specially paved road.
The man wore a white Dragon Emperor wedding robe, with red illustrations. A dazzling silver ornament rested upon his head, where his hair was neatly tied into a ball.
The woman wore a red Pheonix Empress, with white illustrations. A Pheonix crown sat upon her head, and a veil rested on her face.
They walked side by side quietly to the front, led by the thrumming of drums and the chants of priests and monks.
Everyone watched closely and with great intent.
Just then a explosion happened behind the crowd.
Everyone gasped and looked back as a ripple of air tossed through the air and threw everyone to the floor.
Won frowned.
He stood up and a deep frown appeared on his face.
Yuna held onto his sleeve, a great worry displayed on her face.
Won smiled, and said, "Don't worry something of this level could never inconvenience me. I'll go see what's happening make sure the wedding continues. It is of utmost importance that the Prince and the Princess marry."
Won turned into a shadow as he leapt up departing.
A shadow appeared by his side and said, "Forgive me master!"
Won asked, "What happened?"
The shadow said, "At first it was a few rebellious individuals of Ying, who we easily handled. Yet then more and more competent individuals most likely mercenaries arrived, their teamwork and strength made it much more difficult. The problem truly began when those of Panyang Empire began to assault us with many small groups of elites. They are being led by who we expected Prince Lee Gon."
Won nodded, "I expected Lee Gon who is in love with Princess Yuan'er to do something, but to this extent. That seems odd. Would the Emperor of Small hands really allow his son to take so many special forces for such a thing? It seems foolish... The Emperor of small hands has more to gain through this courtship than he has ruining it."
The Shadow said, "Master is right. It seems improbable."
Won waved his hand and said, "No although unlikely, it's not like I didn't expect this to some degree. The Emperor of Small hands is known to be far too emotional. Hearing his son's pleas and seeing the noble traits to not give up his woman, most likely the Emperor curbed his benefits. Yet to go this far... Haha. I was pondering which Empire Ito would devour next. I suppose I know now."
...
Won reached the outmost parts of Ito, where the towering walls defending the Empire were sullied in blood.
Won leapt off the walls, and sent used {1,000,000 Golden Buddha palms} in correlation with {Aim}.
A rain of gold smashed down and killed countless men and women currently fighting.
Won fell gently down.
He then took out a bottle of ink from his inner pocket.
He threw the ink in the air and it exploded.
A brush appeared in his hand as he rapidly drew midair, causing the ink to dragons, tigers, demons, God's and various other forms.
The ink floated in the air and buzzed in a silver light, eventually taking form and appearing as actual beasts.
They flew and crawled across the air hunting all sorts of people.
Blood splattered like all over in beautiful red flowers.
Won eyes glowed mysteriously, a strange and demonic force wrapping around him.
{Eyes of madness}.
A brilliant glow shot from his eyes, turning and dancing in the sky like a fish.
It struck the heads of various men and women. Their knees buckled and they stood screaming in fear, running away as fast as they could.
Yet this simply served to deliver their end all the more quickly.
The soldiers of Ito looked towards Won in shock and terror.
Instead of a man they saw a great and wide shadow ready to engulf the world.
...
Slowly the sky darkened, and by the last enemy life fell, nearly the entire sky had darkened considerably. Dark clouds stretched till the eye could see, and something tragic and ferocious brewed within it's arms.
Won could feel his hair rise slightly, his eyes were drawn up unreasonably simply by instinct. Something ancient nearly feral and powerful, seemed to roar in Won's eyes as he gazed at the sky.
Won used {Sight beyond sight}, his sense fluttering like millions of birds into the sky spying upon all of creation with a perverse interest.
Won's sense stretched further and further.
Yet he simply saw some strange twirling fog at end of it.
Won bit his lip in curiosity.
Yet he tossed his head back in acceptance.
He looked closely at the sky and punched out using {Doom Fist: Destruction fist Boxing style}.
A red fist rose into the sky and slapped into the clouds.
Yet they remained firm and the fist simply turned into sparks and fell down.
Then Won felt a cold sensation touch upon his forehead.
He touched and felt water.
"Rain?"
His eyes turned in wonder and perplexity...
He used as many {Magic circle of speed increase} and {Boost +} as he could.
He turned into a faint clap of air dissapearing.
He contacted Ozaris through his blood and warned him.
Yet Won could only gawk foolishly as rain began to fall down, and like a death sentence around his neck he could only bare.
Won roared ferociously, "Sangia Empire! Damn those bastards!"
Won got an alert from Ozaris and could grit his teeth, rumbling his Blood Qi to the max. The Blood Qi sped at a dangerous speed through his body. Scars remained on his Meridians.
Won should have feared the loss of his two years of effort, but instead in this terrible moment for some reason all he could think of was Yuna.
Won roared!
He finally made it to the center of the Empire where the wedding was taking place.
His appearance caught the eye of everyone, due to the explosion of air as he arrived.
He landed in the front, right in front of Roku and Yuan'er.
Won raised his two fingers into the air and exclaimed internally, "Formation of Gods and deities! Spear of Repentance!"
A glorious and heavenly glow began to shake from the ground, as it cracked innumerably.
From three corners beams of golden light flew up, meeting the main and greatest light that had engulfed Won.
Won was bathed in gold light and looked godly, his aura leaked out like heavy waves clashing into everyone. Including the Emperor, bringing about a great desire to collapse to ones knees and pray reverently.
Yuna stood up, her brows touched in agitation, nervousness and fear. She gazed upon Won's firm eyes, and mighty bearing yet could not see any of that. She could only feel a tightening feeling, like a million knives hitting her heart.
The Golden light reached it's apex, and the rain bounced off the golden screen surrounding the Empire.
The Golden spear, then roared in a ferocious orchestra of order and might.
It pushed off with Won's roar, climbing to the sky.
Piercing it!
The clouds separated in a wide circle, with the remaining gloom filled clouds retreating with great fear.
Won collapsed to his knees, panting heavily as sweat ran down his head and hair.
Everyone was in shock and awe, as golden light diffused down and focused tightly on Won.
His entire form blossoming like the blooming of flowers, and full of heavenly grace.
His hair slowly drifted in the wind.
He looked towards Yuna and smiled brightly, a big toothy smile. She simply returned a happy and content smile. Their gazes proving something words had yet told.
He then turned towards Emperor Sora and said, "Excuse my rough behavior your majesty, I simply could not allow such a display of gloom and rain to befall the Prince Imperial Roku and his wife. On such a glorious day the sun should shine brilliantly."
His eyes then turned over to the horizon and glowed a dangerous light.
"Sangia Empire!"
