Painting Immortals with Ordinary Ink

The road through the mortal world, the path to immortality: all things are bound by fate.

Ink-scented scrolls, swords at one's side, caring nothing for warmth or cold.

First, a luminous pearl fell into the mortal world, and startled a young man.

Then, a red sword danced through the heavens, its fleeting beauty dazzling at dusk.

Most of all, an exiled immortal came to love the human world, and would not let this life go to waste.

When fate has long been decided, will the journey still be one of devotion? When every choice demands a sacrifice, who can tell right from wrong? If loss is part of the journey to maturity, then may I remain a boy forever!
