    Summary

    Philza struggled to keep standing straight, dizzy from blood loss, a white-knuckle grip on his sword.

    “I have heard much of you, emperor Philza, and I have respect for you. Therefore, I’ll offer you a deal. You will surrender. You will kneel before me, right here, right now, and beg for mercy. Then I’ll take you to the Nether with me, and you’ll become my prisoner, slave, and personal servant. Or-

    The Blood God raised his netherite blade, pointing the tip straight at Philza’s heart.

    “-I will allow you to die with a sword in your hand, and once you’re dead, I will slaughter your children.”

    Philza fell to his knees without hesitation.

    ~~~

    Philza had been prepared for a lot of things when he was taken as a war prize: the loss of his basic freedom, the heartbreak of being separated from his sons, the indignity of being reduced into the piglin king’s “pet”.

    What he hadn’t been expecting was for the man behind the blood-stained mask to be soft-spoken, or good-natured, or tired from the weight of his crown.

    Or lonely.

    Summary

    The tales reach Gusu in whispers, and though gossip is forbidden, even the elders find themselves growing uneasy at the murmuring that inevitably creeps along the halls and paths of the Cloud Recesses like vines of tangled weeds.

    They say there's a creature that protects Yiling.

    Locals claim it came from the Burial Mounds!

    It's a spirit; a giant fox! They call it Húlí!

    How very on the nose. Even he has heard the murmurs from within the Jingshi, and so Lan Wangji is expecting the summons well before it reaches him, his qiankun pouch already packed and Bichen humming steadily at his hip. Her presence is a warm and long-familiar weight that sways with his steps as he makes his way to the Hanshi, where Brother is no doubt awaiting his arrival.

    Summary

    When you step through the doorway into the new universe, you remember everything. Every doomed timeline, every offshoot universe, every memory from every you-that-was-but-wasn’t-you.

    It’s fucking the Strilondes up something fierce.
