Summary
Once he had been a boy on a mountain covered in whispering green grasses, and his teacher had told him that every person was born with darkness inside them, as well as light. When he had asked why, she had said there was no why—there was only what was good in him: the bright flare of his seedling core, and what was evil: the dark poison that would try to choke it out.
To be a cultivator was to be strong enough, to be good enough, to beat back the dark again and again. To meet it with light whenever it rose. To spend a life at war with all the wicked parts of yourself.
◐ ◐ ◐
Xiao Xingchen tries to be good.

Summary
Two ragged young men stand weary and hesitant on the outskirts of Ghost Valley, where they can barely make out the terrifying stone giants carved into the mountain’s face. Once they enter, they will never leave.
There they meet Wuchang Gui, a young man, ambitious and cunning, plotting for the throne in Ghost Valley. Knowing he will need allies, he offers protection in exchange for loyalty and support.
They agree, provided that he not separate them.
Wuchang Gui’s lip curls, “Your… attachment… is far too obvious – a liability, here.”
The brothers interlock their fingers and stare him down with cold eyes – numb to horror, too tired to fear.
“Together, or not at all,” they vow.*********
Written for "Tales from Mt. Qingya - a Word of Honor Zine" (2022)
Credit and accolades go to the amazingly talented Ange for the gorgeous illustration embeded inside!

Summary
“I wish you could have known them,” he might have said. Xiao Xingchen had, like he did with everything else, breezed in and out of the halls of Baixue Temple, coming only to sweep away their most promising disciple. He didn’t return until Song Lan did, and by then it was already far, far too late.
An imagined conversation between two people about the marks left by their teachers.

Summary
Xiao Xingchen knows the pain of homesickness.
It is like an old scar; the skin having turned white with age. Most of the time it is quiet, a dull ache at worst, pulling from somewhere deep beneath the skin.He does not expect a visit to Song Lan’s home, Baixue Temple, to tear that scar open again.

Summary
He’s not a loud neighbor. He doesn’t seem to have a lot of friends over—if there’s no music, it’s always quiet on his side. She sometimes thinks he plays so much music to drown the silence he lives in.

Summary
The first day of the Archaeological Symposium has been long and tiring and Erwin just needs one cup of coffee before he attempts to find his way back to his hotel.
“Just a long black, please.”
The barista drawls something in Arabic, sounding mildly irritated as he points at the menu.
“Coffee,” Erwin clarifies intelligently. He’s hot, he’s tired, he’s confused. He wants caffeine as soon as possible.

Summary
Erwin Smith’s dragon-fighting bust is front-page news. He has several key players in custody and enough evidence to put the owner away for the rest of his unnatural life. All Erwin has to do is convince a violent, ill-tempered drake to give him a statement—preferably without killing anyone, burning Erwin’s house down or falling in love with him. But when the federal government shows up demanding that Erwin turn Levi over for immediate euthanasia, the only way to protect his witness may end up killing them both.
