Clifftop Crisis & Transformation

Blood bubbled from pale lips as his jian wavered, the glittering jade green inlay in the weapon darkened by blood and dirt. All along the edge of the weapon, long chips could be seen, even as Shu Huai laboured over, waterfall spray struck Shu Huai’s face and body, dampening bloodied and torn clothing. Opposite him, on the bare granite clifftop, his opponent, his sworn brother, his most beloved stood. Injured, bleeding from a cut along one hand, but in much better shape.

Why? Shu Huai roared, anguished. Why betray me, brother?

You fool. I never thought of you as a true brother.
