章 2: Death and rebirth

In an isolated room a kid is mourning the death of his parents.

He cries but no voice comes out.

He doesn't wish to make the woman worry

as she is the only family member close to him.

Suddenly the boy puts his hands around his neck,choking as if something is strangling him.The boy drops his hands,powerlessy and calm returns to the whole building.

Thus the kid known as Yue Yang ends his journey and from that moment a new Yue Yang comes into existence.

The boy finds himself in an unknown bed within an ancient looking room.

He raises his head and when he does so a warm and soft figure envelopes him in an embrace.At the same time a mature woman enters into his sight.

The boy looks at her, dumbfounded and within his memories he recalls her identity.She should be "fourth mother".The figure that the Yue Yang in the novel so obstinately protects as one of his new family members.

At the same time the boy recalls the reason as to why he is in bed and thinking that the culprit of the old Yue Yang's death is himself he feels extremely guilty.At that moment a voice reaches his ears, interrupting his thoughts.

(if you are wondering why he feels guilty for only about ten seconds,that is because that "guilt" is not genuine.it is more like the residual thoughts of the person he was before being "Yue Yang")

"San-er are you alright?I was worried you know.I just went to take something for you to eat and drink so as to make you feel better and when I returned you had lost your senses"

Then the woman stops and looks at him, silently.she seems to be thinking about something.after a while she continues

"From now on you are my son and I will be your mother so if you were to call me fourth mother I would be happy"

The boy looks at her and without any esitation he calls "fourth mother".

At the same time he makes his decision

'If his death is my fault I just need to become the true Yue Yang and protect what he wished to protect and kill who he wished to kill'

(the will to "kill" is the same as the "guilt".this however is much more prevalent because the body itself accepts the will of the soul that used to fill it)

The woman seems happy with his immediate response and lovingly strokes his head then she wraps him in his own sheets and kisses his forehead.she then stands up and makes her way to the door.When she reaches there she turns around and looks at him.She then whispers "good night san-er" after that she closes the door and Yue Yang's vision becomes dark.

....
