*As the group approached the relative previous last location her and cheong was stationed at there would be seen an area down below of broken swords in the earth spears and tattered banners flapping in the wind, it looked abandon as any battle would after a full year more or less, there were skelton's with armor and plant life growing out the skull's and through the skelton's, however something strange there were also pristine statue's of knights, warriors with there swords in combat positions some with the sword against the earth and there knee on the ground, others encased in full stone with there bows drawn at something that was there once, but no where to be seen the earth didn't touch the statue's surprisingly. The place they had stumbled across was the graveyard of stone warrior's, it was decided to not disturb those who had fallen and to leave this battlefield to be taken back by nature there was hundreds of skelton's and stoned faces with armor and weapons*
Angela
*Wei Wuxian looked around and immediately grew silent as all those weapons scattered around wouldn't have been there for no reason. The same with the armor and everything present on the battlefield. When they landed, the sword disappeared as he looked around closely, but keeping silent as it wasn't his place to speak at this moment. He looked to Orestis and put his finger over his mouth and sent his a voice transmission*

```"It seems like a battlefield of some sorts, you make speak if you wish. But I will give them their moment of silence```
Christine
*Watches as they approached the battlefield, she was confused to what had happened here what was with all the statue's? Perhaps a demonic being they were fighting there was other bodies and skelton's of demonic features so her suspicions of this being related to demons were confirmed she would remain silent but reply in her head*

`"It seems there may be a demon that's controlling these lands a upper ranking demon that keeping these people as statue's as if they were frozen in time. We may need something to draw this demon out, I have a theory that the people in the statue's are still alive the demon is feeding on there life essence or terror and pain because they cannot move in there solidified state."`
Susan
*As they kept walking through the graveyard of stone warrior's not far Wei would find what he was seeking lady senia was on the ground in a statue form her left hand on a sword that had pierced through her stomach her sword piercing a demon statue, her sword was through its chin through its skull, her face was calm and neutral in this statue like form however her statue had cracks and crevices, as if it was falling apart and decaying unlike most of the other statue's, if orestis theory is correct this would mean the demon taking the pain of the statue's has a negative effect on the afflicted which can lead to there death IE the bones of other's in the battlefield.*
Angela
*With the sight presented in front of him, Wei Wuxian's eyes widened, his eyes beginning to strain as he stared hard at what he saw... The man fell into shock as the sight he saw, wasn't one he wanted to. A sword piercing through Senia, no matter how calm or indifferent she looked, he... Shutdown... Wei Wuxian fell onto his knees as he looked... Tears welling up in his eyes, as they fell streaming down his face. He made no noise, no sound, except for the crunching of the ground from his knees hitting the ground... Many thoughts ran through his head, his entire life flashing before his eyes, thinking of moments he spent with Lady Senia... The pain he felt... The heartbreak... After 100 years... He, was too late...*

"..."

*Unable to form words, let alone express himself, this is what he expressed. Ripples of qi came from under him... As the dark clouds began to form and loom over them... The crackling of thunder and lightning could be heard over 100 miles... This wasn't ordinary lightning let alone an ordinary thunderstorm... It is the result of his primal instincts... One that is told to wreak havoc*
Christine
*Approaches the statue that was seemingly or had been fighting a demon, the women beneath had armor on only half her face was shown under the helm but it looked like the epitome of beauty, her skin her hair that was turned to stone, her body and from. Then the grotesque demon her sword pierced through she turned to face Wei as she went to talk to him she saw tears forming in his eyes, the first time she saw him crying she moved out of his way and bowed her head in respect to the dead but slowly placed her hands on his shoulders and hugged him quietly she didn't know what to say to comfort, him seeing and feeling the ripples of qi followed by the darkening of clouds and thunder she spoke*

`"Listen to me brother please."`

*She looked at him softly with a smile as she tried to get his attention.*

`"I'm assuming she meant everything to you... The demon hidden here that has caused this we may be able to set her free."`

*She spoke softly she was partially right if they found the demon they could indeed set her free this came with another unknown factor, was the statue like form of her preventing her from dying was the question did it solidly just in time before she would die so it is the only thing keeping her alive? They wouldn't know unless they tried she knew Wei had qi to heal if they could get the demon he could save her but have mere seconds to get to her to keep her in this world.*
Roy
What do you expect me to do with that?

What do you expect me to do with that?
Angela
*The thunder and lightning only grew greater, lightning beginning to crackle at faster intervals, and the thundering clash only got louder, Orestis' voice not reaching at the current moment... Even when she grabbed him, there was no response... He was lost in thought, as he tried his best to hold onto the shred of consciousness he had...*

"100 years..."

*Was all he could muster to say... When Orestis spoke for a second time however, he snapped out of it, although his conscious wasn't 100% there when she spoke... But he listened to her words, carefully...*

"Where... Is... It..."
Christine
*Heard the thunder and lighting getting worse, she began to channel her magic being read to defend herself against any lighting that might fall near her, as a failsafe, she gently wiped his tears she saw him so hurt, and destroyed, something inside of her broke seeing this, but she smiles at Wei*

`"Your thunder seems to be drawing it out."`

*She would say quietly as she gently rubs his back trying her best to comfort him holding onto his head and pressing it into her shoulder moving away as a swirl of wind began to form like a tornado from the darkened clouds it fell like lighting it shook the earth and cracked it's foundation.*
Susan
*Upon the thunder forming and lightning it risked destroying all of its power it draws from, so it began to come from the stars almost the demon falling down with a massive tornado forming around it falling at the speed of lightning, upon hitting the ground it cracked the ground and the wind dispersed in every direction turning to red flames bursting in every direction, the cracks in the earth began to fill with lava*

`"It is I who you seek, you have entered my home with your filthy human boot's. Defiled my sacred peace for what?"`

*It hissed it's voice booming and echoing it was a large golden dragon with veins of lava flowing through its body it's rumbling voice spoke once more from it's chest out to it's large dragon mouth*

`"If you are so foolish to challenge the great dragon Ithas it will be your undoing. I will grant you one chance to leave before I tear you to shreds. The both of you."`

*Steam that could melt the bones off of ordinary humans came from it's nostrils.*

`"If you wish to make a deal, to save one among the pile of death."`

*It's voice rumbled the very earth, heavens and underworld trembled at it's very breath of words*

`"I require a equal of value to the life you wish to save. Not by the value of the person but of how high the value of the person is to you."`

*It lowered it's hundreds of foot*

*Wide head towards them with the dragon slits that had the color of gold and lava ring around the eye's*
Angela
*The thunder and lightning struck and clashed against one another only louder... He saw Orestis smiling at him... He shuddered as he tried to speak... Tears in his eyes... But anger filled his eyes... Though the sudden disturbance of another force... Their words echoing loudly as he kneeled there... Then a dragon... A large golden dragon stood before them as it spoke, his eyes looking at the dragon, sort of empty... A void... But not like anything that had been seen, one that drove a man as powerful as him to sacrifice it all... When a man fights with nothing to lose... He is most dangerous... Wei Wuxian stood up and slowly walked over to the dragon while it spoke to him... He was no longer afraid of death... Standing in front of it as he walked. Though while he walked, craters formed under his feet as he arrived in front of the dragon. He stood there for a moment, his cold empty eyes... Death looming over him, is what the dragon saw... Then he unsheathed his sword, not to attack the dragon, but stabbed it in front of him. He kneeled once more and stared directly into the dragon's eyes*

"If it is what the value of the person is to me, then I will lay down my life"

*He said, still staring directly at the dragon's eyes, with the same expression... However, when he said those words... It was almost as if the heavens heard his words, the thunder and lightning only crackling louder, at this moment, this is where he knew the heavens would be watching. Same with all his ancestors, masters, and fellow disciples of the upper realm... All who watched were devastated and outraged, as for them they too had never seen Wei Wuxian driven to such a state... The would only fear the area around them...*
Susan
*The dragon rumbled shaking it's head and body as it rose from the ground towering at the size of multiple city blocks. It's eyes saw what was in the mans eye's it felt no fear of a death what a strange human with no fear of a massive dragon demon before him. It began to cackle and laugh at Wei feeding off his energy, it was rather amused upon seeing his sword become unsheathed and stabbed into the floor.*

`"So a life for a life how noble. That is however, I think not."`

*It turned to face orestis as it looked at her it looked to the skies to see the thunder clouds and lightning striking in the far distance a human does this much devastation such power it would not deprive the world of such talent not today at least.*

`"A worthy opponent. Someone to grant me a battle for the centuries if you were to live and survive to become stronger. I will allow you filthy human, to go with your mortal life and take what you seek under the condition you will return to this spot when you are strong enough to give me a battle that is worthy of a great death but I will take something of yours..."`

*It lowered it's head it's teeth right Infront of of Wei, smoke escaping from it's mouth fire being sparked in its throat ready to release it raised it's massive head into the sky and blew fire that could melt mountains to it's core into the dark clouds making a small clearing so the sunlight could illuminate Wei orestis and the statue's if he accepted this proposal the dragon, it would use it's claw and precisely slash his left eyeball out with a curse that can not be healed by anything, if it was attempted to be cured it would kill the user the scar would go across his face down the side of his neck if he didn't things would take a much different approach...*
Angela
*Wei Wuxian, stood up and ran his finger along the blade as he put his finger out... The blood dripping him his finger*

"By the call of the heavens... Do you hear me..."

*Wei Wuxian said as an eastern scroll appeared between them. But not a literal scroll, but one made with an unknown power, the words illuminated with bright qi... Something unfathomable that even Wei Wuxian dared not ignore...*

"I... The child of heaven by heavenly decree chooses to ascend the rank of Young Master! I swear upon my Daoist heart... To repay my debt..."

*As he said this, he wrote his name infusing qi into his blood as he wrote... The sky crackled loudly as a light engulfed the two, doing no damage to either... But the Dao Contact had been made... And sealed... Not between him and the dragon... But him... And an unknown force. The deal made between him and the dragon, he agreed to and immediately ran to Senia's body prepared to pour a large amount of Qi into her...*
