The Great Song of Jiuzhou

Once we have vowed not to part, our bond shall never end.

This is a song that echoes through the ages. This is an ode that descends upon the Nine Provinces.

Clever and artful, wise yet never ostentatious, her brilliance carefully concealed: she is the heir to the Divine Realm.

She brings blessings to the Four Seas and benefits the Nine Hills: she is the Empress of the Demon Realm.

When two powerful people meet, they recognize and cherish one another because they are evenly matched.

Long, long afterward, I returned to the Outer Heavens. Atop Jade Mountain, I met a young man who loved to wear white. Stars filled his eyes, and grace shimmered at his fingertips. Behind that radiant beauty lay a land forever still.

His name was Fu Yao. He gave me a pair of swords, naming them Never Part. Four words were engraved on the blade: Our bond shall never end.
