Storm.

What they found out about Clan Leader Zhi upset him deeply. He can't get that feelings of sickness off of him and keeps wandering like a lost soul all over the Eternal Abyss.
Until something makes him snap out of his thoughts: hysterical, high pitched screams. And he kind of recognizes the voice they come from.

He knew Xui before, even if they didn't really speak, ever. He noticed how she was clearly avoiding him in the past days and it didn't surprise him, given the circumstances. He also noticed how the Juku clan guys kept behaving wrongly towards her, although he doesn't know what involvement could be among them and her.
Hearing her scream worries him that they could be doing something to her, so he hurries towards where the screams came from.

He stops at some distance, confused at the sight of Xui, with her hands on her breasts, looking so baffled and shocked out of no apparent reason.
He approaches her and aims to take her wrist, but she slaps his hand away, hard.

Rorii "Then it's clearly not your fault if you don't know. This kind of knowledge wasn't even meant to reach the ears of auriold, back then. Not sure what the situation is nowadays."
He rolls his eyes. "Because he was impartial and way too involved with that creature!"
He freezes. "The Fuchou? What was the outcome of the attack?"

Ning. "The Frost Citadel fell." He looks down.

He shuts his eyes at the news. "No matter how much we did, it's as if it was nothing... so many centuries ahead, that blasted God is stronger than ever..."
He frowns. "I will never like it and I'm tired to hear your thoughts on how I should be fine with it. Be a woman with your potion if you like it!" He is left speechless by the revelation. "You... gave birth..."
His clan needs an asshole, when there wasn't one on the lead anymore, that's what happened!! XD "I'm starting to think it's no case I was brought back. The world needs me."

Dobermann "They are still very split. Average auriold do not know what's beyond wildlands.
What creature are you talking about? Something corrupted..?" Poor Xie. XD
He lowers his gaze as Ning tells him what was of them. "That God was defeated by Avatars. The problem are his followers and everything he left behind." Talking about Nimox and artefacts.
"You heard me well." He knows Sao didn't want him to reveal it but since hyung-nim is not there... XD
"It might be so. Join our cause and let's find the Sect of Hori."

Rorii "And it better be so. These are not matters they can deal with, anyway. They can only get in the way." He would take them as servants, he is that type. XD
"Worse! A creatures only good at bringing ruin upon whoever is kind to him! Thankfully, he was dealt with and won't be causing anymore troubles to the world." *Cough*
"How can there be followers of a God that only wanted the destruction of us all? It's a nonsense with no proofs that has been going over and over..." Maybe it's more a 'not wanting to believe it or he'd have to admit that all his convinctions were wrong and he made a lot of messes only'. XD
"Why did you think I'd need to know...?" His eyes widen. "Don't get ideas!" He covers his breast with arm.
"I will.join your cause, but I won't believe in that nonsense unless there will be proofs."

Dobermann "I agree it is not their battle, yet. What would happen if we failed though? It'd be even theirs. They don't want the entire world in decay, I guess. They are not all fanatics.
Omo...what kind of creature was it? It was Hori's too?
Don't ask me but if they are not connected to Hori, who? They are necromancers, controlling the corpse of a Clan Leader, using Hori's artefacts to create horrible and dangerous creatures. I'm sorry but I still don't have a better explaination.
I'm not getting any weird idea. I love my husband very much, thanks." I have better breast as woman - he thinks. XD
"Fine. Until then, we'll think about freeing the Sects and defeating corrupted ones."

Rorii "If we failed in such battle, what hope would be for them? It's our duty to protect them, without us, they will be left alone."
He shakes his head. "Nobody has ever been able to tell what he exactly was. But you can bet he only brought misfortune to the people who did the most for him." Of course he was among the people blaming Xie for anything bad happening in the world. XD
"It's something even some crazy Nimox could do. Although a powerful one... their clan leaders are all ancient and scary creatures." He will have no choice but to admit that it's more than a speculation.
"Hu... husband?" He gasps. He wasn't ready.
