Chapter 74 - 73: Zi Yan; I've found my purpose

Loneliness and disappoinment. It was all she had ever known and felt all her life. A little girl of twelve years old thought as she clutched the ragged torn cloak, the only clothing on her body, tighter for slight comfort it could bring.

That was all she ever was, until, he walked up besides her and talked to her. That was when her entire life had changed.

Six years ago, when she was ironically six years old, she first 'woke' up in this world confused and afraid and completely alone in a forest.

She didn't have those other kids her age called parents nor siblings or any kind of family. She walked down around this world alone.

She had first 'woke' up in a forest near a city called Heaven Duo, where she walked into said city the next day with the same cloak she's currently wearing when she turned twelve. She had found it just laying around next to a tree that had a lot of delicious fruits with a symbol etched under the cloaked called: "Shi".

The reason why she had gone inside that city had deluded her, probably because it was interesting? Or was it something else? All she knew, was that she wanted to go in the city.

The couple of days wandering in the city was good. A few nice people had sometimes given her food or money to buy the former. She wandered around the city till she found some unwanted materials needed for her to make a makeshift home on top of someone' else's home!

Those days was really great. Until some strange and shady looking people started to trail behind her, although they promised they would give her candy if she willingly follow them but she doesn't know why but she just had the sudden feeling of immediate distrust and weariness for those people.

So without any hesitation, she had moved fast like the wind and strike like lightning. Her feet moved in a strange rhythm, like she was dancing, around those strange people and one of her legs aimed and had unconsciously raised itself, whenever she comes near between their legs, and destroy the small things that made those people shriek like they were pigs beings butchered.

After that, no more baddies came to bother her for a couple of years, a couple years of peace and quiet, until when she was ten years old she had met against a powerful nasty person who could follow her every moves and match her monstrous strength that can destroy a small house!

She had thought she was a goner, until she found out she had the ability to control and bend space to her every whim. She had immediately used such power to kill the bastard holding her!

People she come across on the streets or alleys had sometimes talked about killing people; saying it is bad and if you do it would be hard to stomach such act, even though she doesn't know what that last thing meant.

Even until now, when she had first killed that nasty person and numerous others like him she hadn't felt any remorse, regret or any negative emotions about the people she killed.

In fact, she just didn't put them in her mind. She just thought of them as insects needed to be splat.

All while this happened through the years, it had caused those who witnessed such a sight had immediately run away from her. Saying how a monster like her wasn't welcome in the city.

It, hurt. She didn't know why, but just those words had immediately pained her twisted innocent heart.

This was how she lived, moving around the great known city of Heaven Duo with no purpose but to survive. She didn't knew why she was still trying to stay alive, there was no meaning for her to do so.

But she held on, gritted her teeth and determined to someday find a way for her to finally have a purpose.

And that was when, it happened. The sudden instinctive warmth and comfort creeping up in her heart, the sudden want of movement, the sudden need to come and see...

She drew a blank, but all she knew was that she had a urge to go somewhere and needed to immediately go after that said urge.

So, she closed her eyes and channeled her spirit power all around her body to her back. Underneath her rose four spirit rings; one purple and three black spirit rings surrounded her body, signifying her as a Spirit Ancestor. At the same time, two purple scaly pair of dragon wings, with the wingspan of ten meters wide, popped out behind her back.

She flapped her wings several times, ignoring the startled and disbelieving gazes of the masses below her, she flew off.

It took her a couple of weeks, due to some sudden changes of which direction of her urge to go and the need to take a break, but she finally arrived where her urge wanted her to go.

...And what was that exactly? She wondered as she looked around in confusion and anxiety. She's here, the place where her urge wanted her to go. Now, where's is her purpose?

'What, AM I supposed to do here?' She wondered once more in trepidation. She stood in a dark alley, devoid of anyone.

She waited for several hours before she let out a disappointed sigh and walked towards the street.

'I knew it. I knew I shouldn't have trusted that urge of mine. This is a waste of my time! This is, this is just! Augh!' She g.r.o.a.n.e.d as she stopped besides a shop and sat with her back down below the big mirror window.

'...I should probably just rule the world.' She blankly wondered at the empty air after several moments of silence. She finally gave in, she no longer dosen't care of what hell she wants to do. Even if it means destroying the world, so be it!

"Oi." She narrowed her eyes, hearing a voice of a unknown boy near her and is talking to her. She merely g.r.o.a.n.e.d once more thinking, 'Here we go again...'

She turned her eyes towards the boy, wanting to say f.u.c.k off or something, but the words were clogged in her throat.

Standing besides her, leaning on the wall with his arms crossed, was a boy a year older than her. Messy but sorta smooth black hair with green tinted bangs, eyes as black as the night with green pupils, a really handsome face and wearing casual clothes of a blue hoody and jeans.

In any normal situation that she found herself being asked by guys, like the guy besides her, she would have either leave or tell the guy to f.u.c.k off.

"Do you want a job and a brother?" He straightforwardly said without any strange expression on his face.

She was dumbfounded and shocked, as anyone would in her place, at the straightforwardness and thick skin of the boy.

'A job and a brother? I heard a whole lot of nonsense from people wanting to exploit or kidnapped me, but this is the first time I've ever heard someone offering those words.' But nonetheless, she accepted it. As she decided to follow these urged of hers for one last time. Though not before doing a wait and see strategy of her new brother.

As the days and weeks she spent with the boy name Xiao Yan, who now gave her the full name of Xiao Zi Yan, though she preferred to be called only Zi Yan, she realized; through the time she spent with her new brother, her mentality and personality slowly changes, as the void of loneliness and despair disappearing from her heart, she had finally found a purpose.

Protecting her big brother Xiao Yan and be the greatest perfect little sister in history!

As she kneels on the floor with her head down, while Xiao Yan scolds her and forgiving her at the same time as he brought out a tub of her new favorite sweet called ice cream, a smile unknowingly appeared on her face.

'I hope our days continue like this.' Unknown to her, the symbol of a small purple dragon appeared on her forehead for a moment before disappearing.

AN: The next couple of chapters will have different character development with the characters of the story. Now I won't spoil who they are, but I can just surprisingly say it's somehow much easier to write. Huh, weird.

Anyways, I am currently stacking on some chapters of a different story, yes, I'm writing another story but I won't upload them till this story either reaches 150 chapters or has reach over 400 voted power stones with no time limit, except when the story hits 150 chapters.
