Rain was slowly dripping down from the sky. The sounds of thunder sounded through the heavens. The dark clouds covered the sun, blanketing the ground below in darkness. Beyond the streams and green forest, a barren land filled with dead trees and land covered in dirt and rock could be seen. 

These lands were called the wastelands. A place where not many dared to venture. The demonic beasts here were more powerful than anything you can find elsewhere and even more vicious. Walking through this wasteland was a young girl. She looked to be fifteen years of age. Her silver hair was stained red with blood. Her expression was void of any emotions. 

To her right, a demonic beast, one that had no name, slowly and carefully edged closer to the young girl. Why was it being so cautious? No one would know except the young girl. The demonic beast, which had oily looking wet skin and a head that was a circular shape with two beady eyes embedded into its sides. It stood on four legs and was drolling from a mouth that had rows upon rows of teeth lining its circular mouth. 

Each step was one that it seemed to risk its life for. It did not seem to want to give up on this prey. Its ribs were clearly visible on its side, showing it had not eaten in a long time.   It finally got within one hundred feet of the young girl when its body suddenly exploded into a bloody mist.

The young girl had only gazed at it. Her eyes did not look like normal eyes but bloody red eyes with no pupils. Just a solid blood red color. She looked at the pools of blood splattered on the ground before rubbing her stomach. She walked over and got on her hands and knees. Her silver hair falling into the pools of blood. She lowered her face and began drinking from the pool. She drank and drank until the pool of blood was gone. 

When she raised her head, there was a hint of a satisfied expression on her normally expressionless face. She wiped her mouth before getting up and continuing on her way. Where she was going, only she knew. But she marched forth through this desolate land deeper and deeper. 

Days, weeks, and months passed until, finally, she came to the edge of a mountain. This mountain was pitch black in color. It looked devoid of life, but if one looked closely, one would see a black stone palace carved out of the side of the mountainside. 

The young girl took a single step forward only to stop when a figure cloaked in black appeared before her. “Your Highness, you have returned after all these years.”

The girl, who was expressionless before and had not said a word, parted her cherry red lips that stood out on her snow white skin and said: “I awoke when I felt a resonance with the river of the dead. A soul has come to this world.”

“Your Highness, does this mean….” The figure cloaked in black felt a little excited.

The young girl’s lips curled up into a sinister smile: “We have disappeared from the world long enough. I must find my queen and bring her back. The prophecy that was handed down to me back then was that the one to cross over would become my fated one, and together we would rule the mortal world. Now we must prepare. Once I have located her, we will begin.”

“Then shall I draw up a bath? You must look at your best, Your Highness.” The black figure was trembling in excitement. After disappearing from the world, they would finally return and take over everything.

The young girl looked down at herself and took a sniff of her skin. Her nose wrinkled before nodding. “Mm… Draw up a bath and get me a new set of robes.”

“Ah-CHooo!” It was early morning, and Yuki let out a loud sneeze. Her brow furrowed as she rubbed her nose. She did not remember any immortals getting sick before.

Pursing her lips she sat up and looked down at the dragon girl who was still sleeping soundly on top of her. Thinking about what she had done to Nana last night made Yuki blush. Making her lover feel good was one part of being in a relationship. She just did not think she would be doing such things so early. But she was not upset that she had done it either. She loved every face, every sound, every motion Nana made. 

Yuki reached down and caressed the top of Nana’s head. She really loved this girl. From head to toe, she loved everything about her. She looked at the peaceful sleeping face and felt slightly bad. They had to get up and head to the center of the outer sect. The battles were going to start today. “Nana…. It’s time to get up.”

“Mm...” Nana hummed as she adjusted herself, half climbing up Yuki’s body and nuzzling in between Yuki’s soft mounds.

Yuki sighed and gently shook Nana once more. “Nana. Come on, we need to get going.”

    “Hmmm?” Nana finally opened her eyes. One eye was still closed, while the other was slightly open. She smiled and lifted her body up before pressing her lips onto Yuki’s and pushing her down. Nana slipped her tongue into Yuki’s mouth and tasted every inch of it before sucking on her tongue. Yuki felt her lower half heat up, but she knew now was not the time for this. But she still couldn’t resist the kiss.

They kissed for a good minute before Yuki finally pushed Nana off. “Come on, we need to go, or the sect master will punish us.”

“Mm….” Nana pouted, but she still got up. She then proceeded to help Yuki change. Only after she got Yuki to dress her did the two finally get to leave the immortal cave and run as fast as they could to the center of the sect. 

Yuki could only chuckle lightly. Nana was so stubborn when it came to her doting. But she even loved this part of the silly dragon girl. When they arrived, the sect master looked at the two and nodded his head. They had gotten there in time. He looked at the sun for a moment before finally saying: “You are all here. We will now head to the battle stages!”
