Empress
Episode 10 - Signs
" father! Mama! Brother! Where're you?" Xiao Shi continuously called out to his family. He even tried to open the iron door just like what his father did, but to no avail.
He continued to surround the room, knocking on the wall while shouting for help. He tries to use his cunning to disappear and move to his desired place, but can't. All sorts of ways he had done but nothing worked. Finally Xiao Shi sat himself on the floor, he was tired, desperate, and regretful.
" I shouldn't have touched him" he murmured.
" Are you sorry to touch me?" the sound echoed throughout the room, it was like deja vu. He's experienced something like this before.
" Who are you?" Xiao Shi got up from his seat and looked around looking for who was making a sound.
" Promote your form and give me back my family!!" yells.
Two lights came closer to him. One is black, and one is white.
" You want your family?" the sound was like coming from a white light.
" Of course" he replied firmly.
" Put one of us. If you choose it right then we'll return it"
" all right"
Xiao Shi thought for a moment, following his heart, which one would he choose. Xiao Shi advanced his steps and directed his hand to capture the white light. But when it will catch it, the light actually dodges.
" Why did you choose me? Is it because I'm white and you assume that white is always true?"
Without waiting for an answer from Xiao Shi the light suddenly disappeared. Now there was only black light left. He tried to catch it, but the light also dodged.
" Did you choose me for being rejected by the white of the truth? You chose black because you were disappointed with the truth? You shouldn't have chosen me. You should have waited for the truth to come back instead of turning to me like this" and then the black light disappeared as well.
Xiao Shi did not understand what was happening, he was completely confused. His gaze is empty now.
Actually he did not know the exact reason why he chose it, he could not think of anything. There is no idea that black is darkness and white is truth. He just wanted to touch her.
Then the two lights came back together.
" Who are you?" xiao Shi asked in confusion.
" You touched us before, how could you not recognize us" touched him? Xiao Shi did not feel like he had touched any light before this, did they not dodge before he touched? All he touches is..wait!
" You guys, Heavenly Flowers?" tanyakanya.
" right"
" Why did you turn into light?"
" This is just our other form"
" There's something we have to give you, which is why we took this form" the two lights approached Xiao Shi even closer.
" give? What ?"
A second later the two lights fused together, the light grew bigger and bigger. Then the light emitted its light towards Xiao Shi, right towards his chest. The light spread throughout his body. Xiao Shi shouted in pain.
It was painful, his body stiffened and slightly convulsed withstanding the turmoil within him. Long Xiao Shi sensed that, then the light dimmed, Xiao Shi collapsed into a limp feeling.
Suddenly a flower sign appeared between his eyebrows. The sign of the flower had radiated for a while and then faded and disappeared as if it entered his skin.
" what,, what, what, you do" he asked in a stingy tone.
" We're returning yours"
" Mine? What do you mean?"
" We are you"
" What does that mean?" Xiao Shi grew increasingly clueless, all this was too convoluted.
" You have special powers. And we've been saving your power since you were brought down here, now we're giving it back"
" You even have your own dimensional space now"
" Dimension space? But I already have it from my father" Xiao Shi thrust out his arm that had a gift bracelet from his father.
" The bracelet can be taken by someone else. While your true dimensional space is within your soul. No one's gonna take it."
" What does all this have to do with me being told to choose?"
" And you chose white first, then you chose me. This was indeed what we expected" the black light chimpanzee.
" why? That means my soul is dirty?"
" No. You can't choose one of us completely. You are both elements of it. And because your choice was in our hope, we returned what should have been yours"
" Mine? What ?"
" Your powers. What we gave you just now is yours, we're just keeping it so that no one abuses your power"
" But, wait. Why do I have special powers. Who me? What I—"
" It's not time you found out who you are, now all you have to do is keep training yourself like before. And prepare yourself for something bigger"
The two lights slowly faded and disappeared. Xiao Shi returned to his original position. Holding a large white petal accompanied by his family. Everything came back to the way it was except for something in her body.
His body felt stronger and more powerful than before. But the wing mark on his arm still felt throbbing.
" Shi'er are you okay? Why are you quiet" The king patted Xiao Shi on the shoulder slowly, afraid of surprising his daughter.
" W-my father is fine, I just feel comfortable touching him" said his daughter King. They finally decided to leave the room.
There were so many questions that Xiao Shi had in mind. Who himself? Why and what is the real connection between him and the flower. And what power he really has, and much more. It felt like Xiao Shi wanted to go back to that time and ask further, but it seemed like the two lights chased him away until he finally came back here.
Shitty, he thought.

Two men were sitting on the edge of the river with a beautiful waterfall, the water there looked very clear and fresh.
" Mister, have you recovered?" ask the other guy.
The two men wore masks, one masked in gold, and the other masked in iron.
They are resting after a long journey.
" I'm good, but the mark on my arm still throbbed" the golden masked man said as he unfolded his sleeve. There's a wing mark there, but there's only one, not a pair.
" Mister, what might—" the golden mask man struck the iron mask man on the shoulder with his sword sheath.
" Don't talk anything. Do you want to say that my companion came only because of the wing marks and the stupid prophecy? "
" But what if it's true, sir?"
" It's impossible. I'm this big and my soul mate just came? Does that mean he's just born? Just be right. I think now that you've lost your sanity regarding my companion as much as the mother and the foolish soothsayer" the man tried to stand up from his seat.
" Sir!"
" I don't want to hear it anymore. Whoever is going to be my wife I will choose her own. No one can interfere with my decision on that. You understand?!"
" Okay, Master! I'm sorry"
" It's okay. Let's continue our journey"
"Okay, this way, sir"
Why this wing mark is pulsating. This is the first time this has happened in my life. Is what the fortune teller said true? That my soul mate is a woman who also has this wing mark, but who is she? Where is he? Why did he just reveal his current existence. Could it be that he was really just born?
