The Glass Shadow Symphony (Crossover)

Note: 1. This is the sequel to "A Thousand Years of Tears, Sakura in Flight (Shaman King)". 2. This was written during my dark-history phase. The setting, writing, and understanding of the original characters all have a dark-history feel, so please think carefully before reading. That’s all. The air was filled with the scent of deep winter. Beneath the gray-blue sky, the morning sun took a long time to shine through the pure white curtains. Its warm, golden-orange light seemed to gild the person in the room. “Li?” the boy asked, puzzled. “Hey, Ying, let’s elope.” The girl floated in midair, gripping an enormous calligraphy brush and waving it around, leaving streaks of white light. “Pfft...” The boy, who had been drinking water, suddenly spat it out. “Cough, cough... What... did you say?” “Uh... I mean, let’s run away... No, let’s go traveling.” The girl put away the brush and smiled at him. “Traveling?” He wiped his mouth and repeated, raising an eyebrow. “We’re travelers, time-space travelers. Of course we have to travel.” The girl held out her hand and tilted her head slightly, a smile playing on her lips. “Well, my dear Prince Ying, would you like to set off on a journey with me?” “What do you think?” the boy countered. He stepped forward and took her hand, as though he had grasped eternity. Golden-orange sunlight fell around them, warm, faintly sweet, and happy. People are lonely beings. But what if there are two of them? As long as the hand beside you is warm and real, not an illusion, then no matter how long it takes, you can keep walking, keep traveling. Time that stands still always seems endless... Sometimes it carries the scent of distant years, a taste of things long past. The future is an immortal journey, this endless life, or perhaps time that has been stopped, held in place... This journey, this stretch of time, is so very long... So long that the end is nowhere in sight. But as long as they hold each other’s hands, they can keep walking on and on. A broken melody, its scattered song bound together once more As an endless journey enters transmigration A thousand-year-old Onmyoji: even a flickering flame can destroy the soul The Pure White One, an existence that defies every rule The song of Hao Asakura and Ling Li’s journey through the Shaman world A symphony belonging to Liuli and Ying They will always rely on each other as they move forward We walk onward together Because time has long since stood still We stop for no one Because the only ones left in our lives are each other Our hands clasped together We keep walking, always, just like this Eternity rests in this moment.
