Turbulent Times

In this chaotic world, just staying alive and breathing was a numb kind of pain.

His parents had gone missing, leaving only him and his younger brother, a vampire. A secret hidden in his body. A letter from a mysterious stranger. Unprompted support and help. Among humanity, he was the most fragile and most dangerous of them all.

Numbly, he kept watch over that field of sunflowers, where happiness never lasted long.

Qi Ling thought that if he learned to stay silent, then learned to shoulder burdens, to take responsibility, and finally to endure, he could make it to the end and find the scarce hope waiting there.

Then he found himself in too deep. All he hoped, or perhaps prayed for, was that his heart would stop becoming more desolate, and that he would not sink any deeper into the depths...

Qi Ling faced the ordeal of his life. If he made it through, he would live forever.

The sun wept. Tears lay at his feet as he stood on the reef, waiting for the wind.

"Then, will there be someone like that,

who can hold the blood of the past and the edge of the blade,

and drag him out of the valley of thorns,

and give him purity, tenderness, and solemnity?

"Or will they swallow all the bitter lies,

and give him fruit, dew, and sweetness?

"Will that person hide away all the stormy weather,

and kiss him with loyalty and passion,

and a heart beating with life... ?"

*Time passes silently. Let's wait and see~
