As yours does. ( Bland, blatant, undiluted rigidity. He affixes Wrath with a baleful glance and thinks it not unlike skewering a wall of steel, rock or debris. Immutable power gazes back at him, bearing a man's likeness.

It should startle Lan Wangji, but he has grown — and he shudders, partly for the spikes and slides in temperature now he has escaped wetness, partly for the energy and enthusiasm that have depleted his body now its trials of slaughter are done — accustomed to Wrath's manner. He comes, the dead follow. Things or creatures die.

If there were a play written, they would have successfully satisfied the first acts, and so now Lan Wangji must migrate them, amid stench of humidity and decay and eroded wood and rope's bind, towards their disturbing conclusion. )


Incompatible. My energy is — cleansed. ( But then, he feels the rare, if incendiary impulse to clarify, unbidden. ) Not uncompromised ethically, but purified by my core. The energy of a living thing, exposed only to life.

( Compared with this shard: cold, feeling deathly, wrong. It has no business co-existing with the likes of Lan Wangji. )
