Incursions [T]

@cfstarlitnights

The sound of steel was what drew his attention to the spot. He knew that this area could be quite dangerous for travelers, merchants and those who sought to travel beyond the Chaos Lands, so to find a lone woman Combating horrors was new to Qiu An.

He did not hesitate to jump into the fight the creatures were mishappened, born from pits formed of wood, or earth and dark and terrible magic. Nothing about them was normal. He watched the woman's style from the corner of his eye but matched her speed and ferocity, he could also tell she was tired.

Why had he not been warned?

"Be careful of the spines, they are poisoned." he called a warning slashing into another of the creatures that towered over his five ten frame.

One last time because tonight on grading papers with my gifted class there are questions in the sideline. Which gets answered. Seven-year-olds have interesting questions. Example: (If they knew how deadly the canon is why did they not just take that position away from the opposition. So in this essay to this child, I will ---)

So I am at work and my phone rings, my phone is set to silence on everything but work, so I answer. Hey, can you come in to work Amanda called out again. Me, I would love too BUT I am already here? I am preparing the class for a field trip today. ( I am a tutor at a gifted kids school--were going to Williamsburg today on a field trip the kids are going to see how ice-cream is made, and visit gettysburg as this is what history is covering this week. )

He was alone on the field as he practiced his blade an extension of himself of his arm. He spun in a delicate circle; his feet did not touch the ground. Gathering energy was easy in this manner, he pulled it he shaped it, and he channeled it. He felt it within and that explode outwards, and the constructed straw dummy exploded under the attack, he did not have to land a hit on the dummy with his blade.

His feet touched the earth again and he felt something that made his hair stand up on ends. His lips press into a line and like any cat who might have had their fur stroked the wrong way his lips peeled back from his teeth very slightly. What was that? The static was growing stronger it felt like qi energy. He slowly turned and began the protection configuration for the small village where he was currently living. This sort of energy could destroy everything these survivors had accomplished since coming here. There was a flash of snow leopard shaped energies as they dashed to the four corners of the village. Shooting up to complete the configuration of protection.

The sword immortal felt the energy wash over him. His own skin lit up with the power which was almost unbearable since he was not a phoenix, but he was capable of enduring. He had long ago had these runes etched into his skin to absorb energy when his father had transferred all he had learned and accomplished to his son. Qiu An, shifted his feet and ignored the stinging to his eyes as he siphoned some of the energy. He was almost certain that it would consume him, he channeled it into the small village's protective runes. He was fortunate that he was part spirit.

He moved forward to see what had been called into his training space, with cat-slit narrowed blue eyes. The hand not wielding his blade rose to shelter his eyes which teared up from both the sheer power of this person's manifestation and the light and heat that came with it.

His black robes fluttered, and he realized it was a woman. His blade stayed on point. He remained in an almost bowing position which would allow him to either dodge or parry an attack or spring to attack if he needed to. Her first words to him had a confused look blanket his face, his nose to scrunch like a cat. His chin lifted defiantly, and he answered cooly. "I could say the same thing, this place is hidden how did you find us…" he asked in return "The energy around you speak of something far more powerful than a mere cultivator." he added indicating the runes of the village. "Just siphoning whatever it was that surrounded you, empowered the protection charms completely." The village's name was simply Solace. There were huts and many stringed areas of laundry. The majority of it was for woman and children. Fields of rice, a small lake with lotus that led out to the stretch of the eye. As well as the lushest garden of fruits and vegetables. here and their cows grazed, and chicken sought tossed feed.

The Phoenix had gone forward in time for a god damn reason. Some peace and quiet. It wasn’t enough that during her multiple lifetimes in the mortal world she had spent most of it helping other people and trying to keep the world from ending, her vacation days got ruined as well?

She’d picked the year precisely because it was so far in the future Cultivation as they knew it was long dead, replaced with technology, the ability for anyone to manipulate the world around them. It was a glorious thing really, even if it meant the era that Feng Wu was so versed in had been lost to dust and buried under rocks. It was the perfect getaway.

Right up until she felt something tug inside her, as if her mind blipped out of existence for a moment only to return almost instantly. A single frame drop that alerted her to shenanigans. Whoever it was, better have a damn fucking good reason. It happened again, and then again, each time she pulled herself back, dug in metaphorical heels and refused to move.

The last time someone tried to command her to anything it had ended badly, for everyone involved…maybe that was some justification for being selfish enough to refuse to attend, right up until pain overcame annoyance. She was starting to get a migraine, the metaphorical tug of war was tiring and even the immortal phoenix couldn’t ignore it forever.

It took only a blink of an eye, and felt far longer than that to appear in the clearing. Feng Wu could feel the cool grass under her, a hand reached out to feel it in an attempt to center herself. Though the fact she was ready to stab someone in the face made it more difficult to do.

“You have three seconds to explain yourself.”

Fate would have it that he would cross paths with the young doctor when he needed one the most. She might also need his help as well in hindsight. He needed a doctor to look at his horseman. They had been attacked by bandits which were easily dealt with once he knew they were under attack but the fact they had gotten a shot off at all irked the young lord immensely. "Do you actually mix sugar into your medicine?" he asked her with a tip of his head as he sat in the room while she tended to the young man's wound. Ting had insisted he was fine, but if there was a doctor present that could actually offer aid it would be a foolish thing to turn it down. Ting was still grumbling but Qiu An knew he was soaking up the attention. "I understand cultivation healing, mostly for cleansing and keeping one alive to get to a skilled doctor." he also knew acupuncture but, in this case, Ting needed stitching up and proper care.

Was it normal to find other Sect Leaders in such a way? He wondered since he had encountered Jiang Cheng in a similar situation when he had come from Cang Wu. It was different there because the man was like a sworn brother to him. Some under the table dealings to give his Sect the boost to rebuild, though Qiu An was a boy when that had happened. He had swayed his grandfather's hand. It had led to a lasting friendship.

This was surprising.

"I would love to get you safely to the town but that might not be a possibility." he said inclining his head upwards towards the heavens. "It seems that this storm is not the only one rolling through, those clouds over there thunderheads." he explained as he took pity on the soaked man. "This storm may not pass before the evening is done." He pulled a hooded cloak from the pouch at his side and wrapped it around the shivering man. He could hear the sound of teeth chattering together, and he gave the man a reassuring smile. "You will be alright; you just need to take a rest to warm up." he said hoping to be reassuring. "We will get something warm once we arrive. I will send for my personal carriage; it should be to the village by morning to make the trip to town much more comfortably. "

He made sure to guide the man along carefully. "It is a small place we will have to ourselves, there are only two rooms in addition to the people who run it the serving room and kitchen. " He spoke as they moved. "I was told the local faire here is spicy and flavorful." he offered "Whatever they were cooking smelled delicious, I hope you do not mind chicken." @cuckoo-among-beasts

@directorofwulin sent a caring for sick muse meme: ‘ i got us a place to stay for the night. you have to get out of this rain. ’

Sometimes, Huaisang seems to have the worst of luck. He who avoids fighting at all costs, still manages to get in the way of a yao. Yes, it's just a scratch, a scratch he doesn't even mention he's having until he can't keep it a secret. Whatever was on those claws, it's affecting his core and meridians, making him unable to use his cultivation to... well, anything. When it then starts to pour down, it doesn't take long for him to feel cold and sluggish. Shivering, he tries to keep up, but it's hard and he keeps stumbling, but thankfully not falling. Huaisang tries his best to keep it together, but it seems like his new found ally notices his struggles anyway.

As they reach the village, instead of continuing to a town that's not too far away, the other man disappears, just to seen be by Huaisang's side again, telling him he's found a place for them to stay. "That is very kind of you, gongzi, but the town is not far away. I am sure I can keep it together until we reach it." He is, in fact, not sure he can. By now, he's shivering badly, teeth chattering, body aching and all he wants is to lay down and sleep. Huaisang is aware that he looks like shit and that his lie will most likely not be believed. "Perhaps a short respite could be beneficial."

" I would allow you to see for yourself, Sizhui but." he shook his head "The man has tried and failed to kill me a dozen times." he frowned a little bit. "Ah, but Lan Sizhui you should also tread lightly, as you and I are uncannily alike." @battleguqin

@directorofwulin hit the ♡ྀ for a tiny starter. "I have never thought about it like that." he said "This Yellow Emperor sounds terrible."

In The Middle of Fog Covered Woods

Continued from [XX] here.

The long-beaded coat swept along the ground of the misty forest. His hand rested at his blade hilt so he could pull it if they encountered anything. Long dark hair was pulled up in elegant and elaborate braids falling down over his shoulders at the sides. Small shimmering stones and silver bands decorated the long length of his hair which was damp and fell to just past his backside it was a noticeable added weight.

He was not quite lost in the woods he knew right where he was. In the woods not but probably lost. He turned to the young woman who he had also encountered in this fog and had accompanied she seemed to know the area. Perhaps, she did or maybe she didn't after all. "I will have to take your word on this." he said with a small laugh and a good-natured smile. Blue eyes twinkled with amusement "How did you navigate the fog when you were little?" he inquired curiously. Well, his Sect was large cat friendly some of that might have rubbed off on Qiu An.

Maybe he had inherited a little bit of the cat-like tendencies."While there are trees where I grew up, I am more accustom to traveling through deep snow, and having snow capped mountain peaks and tree tops." he admitted. He had come this way on his way to Lotus Pier. "My first guess this was not my destination was no lotus ponds and piers." @h3artf3ltint3nt

The Jun Farm Haunting

@battlequin send an inquiry --"I know only that we cannot hide from our ghosts. Whether they are real or not, we must make our peace with them."

Tall and elegant the two boys could have been twins a thing that Qiu An found interesting the difference between them was the ribbon Lan Sizhui wore. Even their stance was uncanny similar the exception here again was the spiritual blade that Qiu An carried and the guqin of the other young man.

Light blue eyes scanned their surroundings as Lan Sizhui spoke and his head gave the tiniest dip that indicated that yes, he had indeed heard what was said. Inky hair was caught on the sudden breeze when there was no breeze to caress the treetops, to move the grain that grew in the fields. Lips were slightly parted as his head tipped and he rewrapped his bracers to keep the sleeves from being wide and flowing like the Lan Sect cultivator.

"Much easier for you, I can not see them or hear them as you do. I can feel them though through my training." he answered as he half turned to glance around the outwardly abandoned farmhouse. "I feel they are gone but they are most certainly still here as well." his voice holding a low tenor. Black boots moved silently-like a cat. It was part of his light skill training. He moved gracefully with a delicate step as he watched the ground, looking to the tracks which had foot prints that mud had encased and left as a clue to the passage of time.

"Sizhui.." he whispered to the other. "This is most unusual." he whispered as he rose from the spot to point out what his quick tracking had detected. "There has been no one on this farm for at least a month. " Blue eyes held concern. "Which leads me to wonder who we spoke to in that tea house." since it had been a young man clad in the rough cotton of home spun material. His cloths had been clean but frayed with wear. He had asked for help from anyone, because his sister was in trouble. They had arrived not even a few hours later and this was how they had met to be here.

Now, it seemed like they might have encountered the dead.

"Do you want to check inside of the house, I do not feel we will be imposing because the sensation of emptiness is very strong here." he slowly turned again "I do not see a sister or a brother or even a family."

Supernatural & Paranormal Sentences, Vol. 6

(Sentences from various sources for muses exploring the unexplained. Adjust phrasing where needed)

"There must be a rational answer for all of this."

"I have no tolerance for the unexplainable."

"Unfortunately, satanic ritual is alive and thriving. The trick is knowing how to recognise its patterns."

"You don't see ghosts. They don't exist. Is that clear?"

"You really believe this, don't you? That you're a vampire?"

"You're not scared of ghosts?"

"A cat! Don't you understand? It's the classic satanic offering! It's what they do - it's what they've always done!"

"I have a bad feeling about this..."

"Hateful things live in this house."

"I haven't seen a lot of horror movies, but this seems like exactly the kind of place they'd suggest to avoid."

"When I was a kid, I could see things. Things humans aren't supposed to see."

"You must allow that each incident in itself is capable of a more natural explanation."

"Hey, are you experiencing an ominous sense of foreboding?"

"I know only that we cannot hide from our ghosts. Whether they are real or not, we must make our peace with them."

"You haven't come all this way just to turn back now, have you?"

"They do tests. Psychological, medical. They look inside your head, and they insert a tracking device inside your brain sometimes. You wouldn't like that."

"I know that this is hard to understand, but you have to believe me that this is real!"

"You don't think that's a little paranoid?"

"For once in your life, admit that you are up against something bigger than you!"

"I'm not weird! It's just that weird things keep happening to me!"

"Nobody ever feels really safe in the dark."

"At the time she was seen, it was impossible that she could be a living person."

"If we identify a UFO, does that just mean it's an FO?"

"Don't worry, people who die in this house always come back."

"I talk to ghosts here all the time."

"You cannot make deals with the dead!"

"Normal? There's nothing normal about this!"

"To a collector of fairytales, this is no doubt fascinating - but you cannot seriously believe that."

"It is quite the feat to kill that which is already dead!"

"Please be aliens, please be aliens, please be aliens..."

"There are things happening here that you don't understand, and right now, you just need to accept that."
