"I came here with a dream"
"They died in front of me"
"But they left behind something more important..."
"Now before me, she is extending her hands, like the gates of heaven..."
Heain lifted his hand and held Hia's hand. She smiled, and Lia, who had been listening to everything, started to cry.
"From today, you are my little brother and I am your elder sister", declared Hia.
"Elder sister?"
More tears rolled from Wan Heian's eyes. Again, someone took him in, and again, it was a new family that he never dreamed of.
"Elder sister"
They walked out of the hut. Strolling through the silent village, Heian realised something much deeper, the feeling of spirit and joy that always surrounded Hia, which made everyone pleasant and determined.
"Heian...the kingdom of Han, my ancestors always protected it, they wanted a nation where everyone is equal, they believed in the four dharmas"
"Four dharmas?" the puzzled Heian asked.
"The unification of four heavenly lands - Tianzhu, Huaxia, Joseon and Yamato"
"A unification?"
"Yeah, that is the vision of the Great Han"
"A place where everyone will be equal"
"A place where people will select their rulers"
"A place where there will be no war"
Heian's eyes sparkled upon hearing Hia's vision of the great Han. His heart started to beat faster. His hands shivered.
"The four dharmas..."
The moonlight enveloped Hia as she declared her vision in front of him; in that light, she appeared like a Goddess. A Goddess who accepts the cruelties of the world, a Goddess who accepts that the path is not exclusive of bloodshed.
SFX: THUD
Wan Heian was on his knees, and he bowed before her. Heian couldn't resist this strange feeling of serving her...
"Your orders, elder sister?"
"Raise your head, Wan Heian!"
Heain looked up, and the determined face of Hia lit up in the moonlight.
"I only want to know if you are willing to accompany me in this eternal journey?"
Wan Heian held his chest and, with fire in his eyes, gave his response...
"I will accompany you to the end of the very eternity"
The joy in Hia's eyes was evident; she had made a brother who was willing to serve till the end of an eternity.
**************
The sun started to shine in the sky, like a golden jewel, and it reflected in Zenshi's eyes. He was on a horse along with the rest of the unit.
"Finally, we are here, eh?"
SFX: NEIGH
"Zenshi! That sound!"
"Ah...there is no doubt, we are surrounded", Zenshi declared to his unit.
"What are we gonna do now...?" the distraught Sui asked Lieutenant Kai.
"Sui, what did you think of our leader?"
"Eh?"
Zenshi stood before all of them, his eyes were focused, and he sensed a familiar presence.
"It's his Ki", he responded.
Kai was surprised upon hearing that. He climbed a tall tree, and far away on the top of a hill stood the flag of the Chu state.
"Zenshi, this is the place!" he shouted.
The Gaixia plains, a disputed area between the Han and Chu. This is originally a plain, but the vast vegetation here makes it look like a forest. Amidst this forest plain, there exists a hill at the centre. After capturing Lingbi, the Zenshi unit is aiming to capture the Gaixia plains. The Chu army had already captured the hill, giving them an overwhelming advantage.
"Commander Zenshi, are we retreating?" asked the commander of the 1st group.
"Zenshi, is the situation out of control?" the lieutenant finally asked Zenshi after witnessing the captured hill.
"Was something written on the flag?" Zenshi asked the lieutenant while he stood on his horse.
"Yeah, it was Wei-Si Yan..."
"Si Yan...?" Zenshi was surprised upon hearing that.
Zenshi faced his whole unit and briefed them about the situation on the battlefield.
"My soldiers, I would like to tell you who we are against. This time it's not the Chu army, but Zhao. We are against Great General Si Yan of Wei"
"A great general...?" one of the terrified soldiers asked Zenshi.
"Zenshi, what is the strategy?" the distraught lieutenant asked him.
Zenshi was dead calm under this pressure; he could feel Si Yan's erupting Ki, ready to engage any unit that came his way.
***********
Si Yan Unit HQ
The Si Yan unit HQ was on top of the hill, the Gaixia hill borders Wei, Han and Chu. From the other side approached the Chu army, led by Great General Ro Lin, leading an army of 50,000 people.
The Si Yan unit had made the hill their fortress. With an army of 100,000 people, they had made an impregnable wall around the hill, creating a deadlock for both Han and Chu.
The strategist of the Wei army headed to the Great General's tent. He entered it, and before him sat the man...
His veiny and scarred hands rested on the golden throne.
His muscles sprouted out, revealing his monster physique.
The Ki of the General overhwhelmed anyone who entered that tent.
His sharp eyes that resembled two daggers stared right at the strategist.
The General's image reflected in his eyes.
"Father, Great General Ro Lin is here", the strategist informed him about the current situation of the battlefield.
"Shia, is there someone else?"
"Someone else?" Shia was puzzled.
"I can sense another Ki several miles away"
Every word carried weight; his perception of Ki always surprised Shia.
****************
The Chu army stood on the Western side, and Ro Lin was in the front. He observed the hill and the HQ that stood on the top of it.
"He's here..." Ro Lin murmured.
"My soldiers!! This battle will be a bloodbath. We are up against the Great General Si Yan of Wei!"
"Capture the hill!! Make Chu the greatest!!"
"aaahhh!!!", the soldiers roared and headed for the hill on their horses.
The aggressive soldiers ascended the hill with their brave horses. The Wei army took notice of them and intercepted them midway.
"This will be the greatest!!"
Decalred Ro Line and he headed staright for the hill, pullingout his glaive.
