ㅤㅤ“I had a dream about you, last night.”
ㅤㅤ•° in every other occasion, this would feel romantic. Comforting, even. But at this moment, it felt like something was terribly, horribly wrong. The look in Yingzi's tired eye only confirmed it.
ㅤㅤ“You killed me in that dream.”
—&—
"Yingzi, what's going on...?"
ㅤㅤ“You ... ”
ㅤㅤ•° she inhaled, raising both hands. Maybe she was still in the dream, and she needed to get out. But Wisteria's touch felt too real.
ㅤㅤ•° she stood, back slouched.
ㅤㅤ“We need to talk.”
ㅤㅤ•° without another word she turned around and moved inside an unused meeting room.

ㅤ
Made her feel bad.
But then she gasped, almost dropping a flask when she heard the general yell out her name.
Quickly, she took off her apron and pulled back her shawl, rushing out, "General Yingzi?? Yingzi???"
And she moved to meet her in the middle, alarmed.
ㅤㅤ“You ... ”

ㅤㅤ“I ... woke up a few feet from here. I mean no harm, I promise.”
ㅤㅤ•° raising both hands up, showing that she's not holding any weapons or anything that can be used as one.
ㅤㅤ“Apologies for intruding. I just need a pointer to the nearest town or city.”
ㅤㅤ
of course, she wouldn’t attack until she learned the stranger’s intentions.
“ why are you out here alone? ”
ㅤㅤ•° feet dragging below her, heeled shoes somehow not drowning into the yellow-orange sand. After a stray magic beam hit her, she thought she landed somewhere a little closer to home, but after a walk, she eventually realized she may be somewhere farther away.

ㅤㅤ•° the day went on slowly, the general's body feeling more sluggish than usual. She even almost lost to a younger witch during sparring, making the others worried for her. She played it off as a feint, but she knew better. The nightmare has been haunting her.

It hurts though.

ㅤㅤ“It 𝗶𝘀 dangerous in human standards.ᐟ”
ㅤㅤ•° if this place was somehow still run by normal humans, the death count would be hundreds, she was sure.
ㅤㅤ•° she followed Eve in a deadly waltz, bodies moving in sync with one another. At the mention of the crane she nodded at the other.

ㅤㅤ•° Yingzi barely turned to look at the others, even as they all moved to carriage, she was carried by Jiaying. She kept her face against the crook of the empress' neck, returning back to the broken, tired woman from before.

ㅤㅤ“I'm busy.”
ㅤㅤ•° Yingzi replied, sounding more stern than she usually does. A heavy sigh left her, the dream still sticking to her brain. She was tired, even more so than she usually is.
—&—
She always worried about it, terrified that they'd think of her differently.
And now, it's upon her like a storm, ready to torment her with a cold flood...

ㅤㅤ•° Yingzi placed most of her weight on one leg, leaning against Jiaying for support. She watched as an unfamiliar woman rushed towards Denji, helpless to stop whatever is happening.
ㅤㅤ“Who ... .ᐣ”
—&—
The heart she heard that joined her that night they spent together.
"Denji, you're here..." She whispered, hold tightening, "...I'm so happy you're here..."

ㅤㅤ“Yingzi Huang. Now come, before the beasts wake for the night.”
ㅤㅤ•° she pointed towards where the river was going: a lake, seemingly manmade. There's a camp surrounding that lake, the sound of men speaking and moving visible from even this distance.

ㅤㅤ“Morning.”
ㅤㅤ•° she couldn't even muster up a smile, and her eye kept looking away from the crow mother even as she approached. A cold sweat trickled down her face.
ㅤㅤ•° subconsciously, she stepped away and around the woman, continuing her walk.
—&—
Wisteria.
She's holding a basket, smiling and utterly happy to see the general...
Her wife. The Crow Mother. Her crow.
"Something on your mind, dear?"
Always with her neverending endearments...
"Love?"

ㅤㅤ•° she patted Sabrina's back, looking into the distance. It had been a while since they met each other, and she wondered how the younger witch's magic has developed.
ㅤㅤ“Did you learn more spells while I was gone.ᐣ”
ㅤㅤ•° tilting her head to look at the blonde's face.

ㅤㅤ•° Yingzi woke up with a gasp, and her body shot forward like a bow let loose. She stared at the wall in front of her, pushing away the blanket from her sweating body. The sun was rising, though she was sure everyone was still asleep.

ㅤㅤ“Hm.”
ㅤㅤ•° Yingzi regarded them with some interest, taking one with a hand.
ㅤㅤ“Place them on the table, and write down their names.”
ㅤㅤ•° she sat down on the sofa again, pulling one of the pillows on her lap.
ㅤㅤ“I'll give them candies tomorrow.”

ㅤㅤ“You're back.“
ㅤㅤ•° the general called out from the second floor, yawning as she walked towards the stairs to go back down. She's no longer wearing her armor, but instead wore a simple white nightgown.
ㅤㅤ“I hope you didn't stir up trouble, young man.“
ㅤㅤ
He cleaned up atleast too and Wufeng snacked as he looked around the house, touring it by himself.
