There are some things I would warn you about, now. Some things that I would send you back with a word of caution regarding. Our meeting will change many things, and yet I know that many others will remain unchanged.
But I would still give you the knowledge, and the chance to face them with strength, rather than grief.
Better to rise in hope, than wallow in despair - even if it's done with a little cheating.
[ hua cheng would burn every temple and palace and shrine to the ground again, across universes. he would chase down the white shrouded figure on a mountainside, he would raze the whole thing, would tear apart the shrine the altar the hundredfold that gathered.
but he will arm xie lian with choice. with free will. with knowledge to decide. after all, even across the universes that stand parallel, that is the reality of it - they have forged these bonds that will last them lifetimes, they have made their choices, and they have earned the right to make many more.
(and, it's not as if xie lian will be alone, this time. it's not as if he will have to spiral into loss so swiftly. he will go home, he will kiss his mother, he will make amends with his father, and he will have them for a time much longer than he would have.) ]
