I pull off my shirt.

"Is he okay in there?" Lin Yo asks me.

"Yes." I say.

She looks at me.

"Are you okay?" Lin Yo asks.

"Fine." I hiss.

"You're not very convincing Lan Zhan." Lin Yo says.

I let out a breath.

"You can tell me, you know. You can always tell a fairy." She puts her hand on mine. 

"Will he survive this?" I ask.

"What do you mean?" She asks. 

"The poison." I say.

"What?" She asks.

"The poison is strong." I say.

"And lucky for us, he's a strong as they come." She smiles.

"I..." I look down.

"What?" She says.

I pull my shirt off. I grab the orb. 

"Now?" She asks.

I see feathers forming on my arms.

"Now." I crush it.

I feel a blast of pain and power. I wince. I fall to my knees. I look at my hands and I see feathers forming. Talons form on my hands. My fingers sprout sharp claws. I look up and I feel something growing form my back. Wings shoot out. I shoot into the sky.

"Hah! Flying buddies!" Lin Yo flies up with me.

I feel the air around me. I feel it tugging my hair. I shoot my wings down. The force cracks the earth like an axe. This power, I look at my hands, it's perfect. It feels amazing. Wei Ying... thank you. I move my hand over the ring. I'm with you forever. 

"Look!" Lin Yo points.

A figure forms on the scales of the serpent. Wei Wuxian rises from the serpent's scales. I fly down. His back had scale markings and so did his arms. He turns. I let out a sigh of relief. He had full skin. He walks over to me.

"I like the wings." He says.

"I like the scales." I say.

I wrap my hands around him. I press my lips into his. He grips my head. This is his dream but it is also mine to get revenge on my brother.
