*As the days past she would be in her room quietly sulking and seething, but after the second day she was slightly better by the third day she was back to normalcy her feelings didn't prevent, her from going out and putting on her usual expressions and casual talk checking in theias and the like she walked out her room into her palace as she went to her throne room in her estate which was close to the sect as the sect was built beside the palace, she went to her throne and took a seat to ponder she have came upon a revelation as her attire was not that of a demon lord but of a simple maid to blend in with other's no more wikk she hide from her title no more will she hide from who she was, she was demon lord orestis of the blackstone and her people she would do anything to protect what was hers and her people turning her magical staff into a sword she formed a sheathe and put it away on her hip she leaned back waiting for something to happen news on theias news on wei, news anything good she didn't want bad news*
William
*As they walked, the three elders watched him closely as they figured he'll be weakened for a certain duration. However, the silence was abnormally quiet from Wei Wuxian... Eventually arriving at the palace doors, Wei Wuxian simply raised one hand and knocked on it*

"Dear Seniors, please stand outside when I go in"

*There he awaited patiently for someone to open the doors. Both hands on his cane, though he wondered how Yenio and Orestis were*
Luis
*The doors to the palace would open inward as maids would open the door for him with smiles they welcomed him and the elders, one of the maids spoke surprised to say Wei Wuxian there he was gone for months and now he had returned he looked different felt more powerful with his presence.* 

`"Welcome master Wei, to the palace are you here in search of our demon lord orestis?"`

*A maid asked there were only a few guards out and about the maids mainly took care of the inner palace, while the guards remained outside in the barracks or patrolling the grounds*
William
*When the doors opened, he let out a breath and smiled gently towards the maid. He simply nodded and said*

"Indeed, why thank you for opening the door"

*A female from the queens royal guard approached she was a maid and a royal guard she served two purposes approached wei seeing his state she smiles softly and offers help*

`"Do you need assistance master wei I see your body is not fully in good shape I can have a maid help you so you don't put to much stress on your body."`

*She walked forward if not she would guide him to the throne room where orestis was hoping for good news and good news this would be, theias not waking for days wei coming out from seclusion, and no longer on a rampage and he was alive and well she looked excited as she wanted her master's mood to improve.*

*Though when the young royal guard stepped up and offered to help, he chuckled lightly and shook his head*

"Why thank you for your consideration, however, I will be just fine"

*And with that, he followed her up to the throne room, one step at a time*

*She excitedly went to the throne room doors she turned to look at him with a smile* 

`"Demon Lord orestis hasn't been in the best spirits excuse me for if I'm in such a good mood, I only wish to see my master happy."`

*She opened the throne room doors and there sat orestis on the throne lost in thought the doors would open the throne room looked entirely different then what it did before she did a full make over*

"I see, I figured as much. And worry not, you are free to be in such a good mood."

*When the throne room doors opened up he stepped inside and began walking towards Orestis, listening to her speak*

"I apologize, I hadn't known about such orders. I can come back next time if you wish to finish your work first"

*Spoke but soon was cut off by lady orestis she wanted to protest but she couldn't and went quiet but wei spoke up and she smiles softly bowing her head and closing the doors behind him*
Barbara
*Looked up from her papers she saw wei and she stood up quickly setting the papers down and walked quickly towards him before hugging him soon after it didn't take to long for this as she was already ontop of him before he could finish his last sentence* 

`"You don't have to apologize brother I've waited for months and 3 days for you to return, things I had to do in that time are... Whatever I'm happy your back brother are you ok? Do you have all your limbs intact?"` 

*She let go of the hug slowly and examined his body and took his left arm then right arm to look over his body*
William
*Wei Wuxian chuckled as he hugged her, chuckling joyously. He smiled gently as he looked at her*

"I'm alright Xiao Ore, I hope you stayed out of trouble, ha ha ha. I have all my limbs and everything and I'm breathing just fine"

*When Orestis closely examined him he laughed more and patted her head with his free hand*

"I guess I will be staying for a little bit before going back into seclusion"
Barbara
*Slowly out hand and arm down feeling her head pat and as he patted her head he would feel two tiny horns on the top of her head that was covered by her hair they were slightly pointy and sharp but thin, as he mentioned that he would go back into seclusion she went quiet slightly* 

`"Back into seclusion?"`

*Was all she could say in return as she back away he would see her different attire and hair style she had changed her entire appearance.*

`"I thought you had finished your time in solitude?"`

*She said softly*
William
```"I still have yet to attain satisfactory results"```

*He said simply, sighing deeply as he balled his hand into a fist, gripping tightly. He himself feels that he is not yet strong enough... The more he could cultivate, the more likely he'd be able to reach the strength he requires to topple that dragon... Though seeing how she looked now, he couldn't help but smile*

```"Not just yet, but I do like your new clothing, it better suits you and your stature"```
Barbara
`"If your results are not satisfactory... Then perhaps you should go back into your seclusion brother once your feeling better, and your feeling more fit to do so."`

*Her words were slightly numb in her reply but she still cared she slowly formed a qi pill into her hand she knew this is what was needed by those who practiced the way of taoism when they were injured or needed qi replinishment that's what she thought at least she didn't spend the last 3 months doing nothing she was trying to learn about qi and inner working from the outside looking in this is what she gathered and also asked questions about it.*

`"I don't want my brother back for a miniscule amount of time I would rather have a definite outcome with you being here not having to leave once more, I do understand that you must go."` 

*The eyes were the window to the soul it had grown colder but the love she had for those around her and him remained firm as he complimented her attire and new stature a faint pink graced her cheeks*

`"Thank you brother it is time I no longer hide from my title I am what I am, I am no lady I am no fair maiden, I am a demon lord, I will do whatever it takes to protect what I love."`
William
*Wei Wuxian sighed deeply and simply held his hand up to her forehead, then flicking it*

```"You know, you can say you don't want me to go. Why be so cold hm?"```

*Wei Wuxian chuckled lightly and rubbed her forehead. Then placed both hands on his cane, before tapping it, then in a moment's notice, the entire throne room was covered with his Yin-Yang, his qi forming a sort of landscape... One where they stood upon a bridge, about 20 feet from there was a black and white tree, then in the distance mountains as if they were drawn with ink... He chuckled as this was a sort of parlor trick he learned while in seclusion*

```"Besides, I still would've stayed for the ample amount of time to get things done. I must establish myself as one of the top adventurer's no? Say what is the current status... What would you call it here... I guess the ranking system of adventurers, to us we would call it the list of immortals."```

*As his objective now, was to establish his name. Although not directly under his name, but a crouching tiger and hidden dragon. Two identities, in the cultivation world, some do this in order to prevent conflict, though very rarely. They suppress their cultivation level and only truly reveal under a certain alias*

```"What should my alias be?"```
Barbara
`"Your not the one that has to write hundreds of letters to dead soldiers who gave their lives for me and the blackstone."` 

*She sighed feeling his flick it wasn't his fault she shouldn't hold her anger towards him*

`"I apologize it's not your fault you don't deserve for me to act this way towards you in just frustrated."` 

*She went towards the throne where there was papers trailed along the ground towards wei as she dropped many on her way towards him she used her magic with a gentle breeze they would rise and float into her hands once she got them all she began to organize them in alphabetical order, seeing all the names and stories she looked away but then towards the throne room changing soon she was on a bridge and not far off a black and white tree mountains painted with ink in the distance.*

`"Feels like a reality warping spell of sorts."`

*She watches around her, quietly she thought about what he said, he wanted to be the top adventurer she rubbed the back if her head slightly she would explain the rank system to wei best she knew but couldn't give him the list of adventurer's only the demon lords and the higher she went up the chain the less and less information became available.*

`"It would be hard to establish yourself as an adventurer brother, if your seen around me or if someone puts the pieces together even if your under an alias you can go from being a hero to hated person amongst the world in a matter of days or weeks depending on how fast information travels. No matter how kind of nice I could be as a demon lord, think of how humans perceive anything with the name demon then lord."`

*She thought it was a good plan however in the long run sooner or later if choose the path of an adventurer they are bound to set him on a quest to hunt her and what will he do? She thought of many scenarios she didn't want him hated by the world like she is being associated with a demon lord is fine as long as people don't know that much about you.*
