The Black Lotuses And The Violet Path

 

 

 

"My father lost my mommy when... when I was born, I-... sniff, she was an ordinary woman. She didn't even had a single source of raw strength on her body outside that of an ordinary human's. In the records, we're told never to mate with ordinary people and that doing so will be a huge offense; however, such a thing has no punishment for committing it. Hence why my father... foolishly engaged with an ordinary woman all the same. The result... was her body being... 'dra-drained', sniff, as I was being born. It was to the point where I had to be taken out forcefully fro-from... from the already deceased body of my mommy." Yun Beishang felt his heart be pushed down at the weight of Sammy's words. Even the sight of her head turning to the side and her hair covering most of her face so that he wouldn't be able to see her; were pretty impactful to a clueless Yun Beishang as he looked at her with a troubled gaze, various kinds of thoughts emerging in his head nonstop. For an example, would've his Yao Yao become as sorry and grieving as Sammy had he done what he intended at first? Besides, that was both of her parents and not only one, like with Sammy... poor girl couldn't even get to see her mother at all.

"Sammy. It's okay, come." With his hands passing over her arms to embraced her from behind with a lock in front of her tummy, Yun Beishang brought Sammy back on top of himself but this time, with her left cheek practically glued to his right cheek. This way, even if she wanted to run away, he could hold her and tightly. In the same manner, even if she did revealed quite the vulnerable sight, she would only give him a few moistened skin treatment, that's all. In the other hand, however; though Yun Beishang may not know the pain of losing a mother to the point you couldn't even have an idea of it, he did know the pain of not feeling motherly love.

Hence, Sammy felt an unbound warmth invading her the moment Yun Beishang put his hands on her shoulder, let alone when he finally and fully embraced her. Feeling her head go slightly light, Sammy leaned her head towards Yun Beishang's as she closed her eyes before opening in warmth to observe the magical more-than-a-dozen moons beyond the sky.

After a good while, when Yun Beishang felt she had grown calmer and went back to the Sammy he now began to fully know and understand, he then took out his left hand as he remained his head glued to hers. With a few mechanical-like noises, a dark and white gauntlet appeared before Sammy's eyes as she was enjoying the moon gazing in the silentest of nights and calmest of rivers that went from all around the Nascent Herb City.

"Ah, your Gaming Tool? Is pretty neat, who would've thought that a couple of simple gauntlets would be able to bring you into a real-life-like virtual world. Technology, heh..." Sammy said, with a slightly loud voice as it permeated in full beauty the entirety of their nightly surroundings, while also extending her hands to hold Yun Beishang's wrist before tracing her fingers across his hand.

Though Yun Beishang was about to demonstrate something to her, he stopped at the feeling of her touch even when she concentrated her touching of him on the gauntlets; because in fact, Yun Beishang felt a deeper and different kind of sensation as she brought her hands to his left hand. So he decided to enjoy it for a good while before finally showing her what he intended to.

After another long while, Sammy brought her hands back to her chest as they went towards Yun Beishang's right hand instinctively instead. As Yun Beishang conveniently opened the gap between his fingers to intertwine his hand with hers under her breasts, he finally told her in a whispering, soft tone: "Look here. I'll show you something."

Being completely interested in his words, Sammy's eyes lighted up quite -though not as much as when he called her nickname- before turning towards his left hand.

Click.

With a light sound, from his left gauntlet emerged a holoscreen that turned into perfect quality definition after Yun Beishang sent the command to become realistic. Right afterwards, what Sammy could see was first; a little red-skinned little girl with large and thick horns and demonic tusks on her mandibular teeth area that had a pale yet healthy and bright red skin color and red eyes that seemed to sometimes become human-like from a dark-brownish color. Then, she saw a little girl with blue skin, not large but indeed pointy ears and a beautiful celeste girl dress; right after the second picture, however, she saw what was seemingly the same blue-skinned little girl high up in the air for what was probably 150 meters above ground-level at the very least as she faced off a few small seas of unknown creatures.

"Wow, this blue girly... I knew she would've been strong but I didn't know how strong."

Hearing her completely out-of-nowhere praise, Yun Beishang astoundingly looked at Sammy before asking her in clear confusion: "Eh, you knew she was strong?"

With a nod, Sammy explained herself like she was patiently teaching a lil' kid: "Mn, I could tell she was something to be really wary of should you be in the place of... those guys! But, I didn't fucking thought it would've been that powerful. What a girl, ah, is she the daughter of the one you're fucking the most right now?"

"Oh, I see. And yes, her mom- WAIT WHAT?!" Sammy burst out in raging-like laughter at his reaction, her tummy bounced strongly as she kept her hands closer and closer to her prominent, delicious breasts in return. Naturally, Yun Beishang's right hand was softly being massaged by such prominent and proud mounds but he couldn't do anything to advert it; not that he would've anyway.

"HAHAHA! Don't sweat it, my love. I can even smell another two from the virtual world, hehehe. I wouldn't mention this to you in case you were scared but, after seeing you get beaten up by my father and then brutally massacre my father right after, I would've thought that you were really just a lucky kid who KC favored by some random reason. I knew you wouldn't disappoint me. And you didn't, whether it was your capabilities and perks or your sexual fatigue limit and energy~."

'What to think? What to do? What is life?' Yun Beishang's were vacant and 'hopeless' as she gazed at the moons high up in the sky before clearing his throat, changing his eyes to that of a good, gentleman and valiant hero and speaking back to her: "Can you really 'smell' my body and theirs? Even though it comes from a virtual world, and even though I not you aren't in that virtual world right now?"

"Yup. I wouldn't be able to discern it clearly had I not spent the first 2 months of the game studying the world. At most, I would've noticed some strange odor coming from your, especially your hands, mouth and crotch. Stinky!" As Sammy said the word 'stinky' with her nose scrunching up, her eyebrows furrowing and with one of her hands pinching her nose; Yun Beishang couldn't help but adore this bizarre side of Sammy. It wasn't like Miriam where she couldn't come to it -his current lifestyle- as simple as Natalia and even Yona could, yet still wanted him like humans need and want food and couldn't even live without him. In any case, she was bolder than most of his current women.

"Ah, I see, I see... So, then what about me? How come... you're all head over heels for me out of nowhere? Do... not take offense, I'm asking very seriously." Yun Beishang spoke with a casual tone but, he became a bit shy and embarrassed when he felt like he couldn't indirectly insult this fine young lady that seemed to know of himself as much as he did himself.

"Eh? Oh... well... I spent about more than 2 months to study you, heh heh heh..."

"..." Yun Beishang had only one thought, besides the typical of her being a completely obsessed woman: 'How cute.'

Even then, though some might have thought her to be dangerous -out of watching too many movies or hearing out people on the internet-, Yun Beishang knew that he had done the same when he met Miriam. And though his actions were slightly distasteful as he sent people to beat up anyone that talked to her a bit more than closely, forcefully or not, he himself never intended to harm her; be it physically and mentally. So, he could only assimilate such a notion with Sammy having been charmed to no ends by him, accidentally; heh heh.

"..." A moment of silence enshrouded both of them, but warmly as much as refreshingly amidst the late night.

"Mn, hey, continue with the history. That of Black Lotus, tell me what you know."

"Eeeh? Is this now an interrogation? I refuse!"

"..." Yun Beishang was speechless, alright MORE than speechless, but he wasn't without ideas. As such, after putting on a pretense of pondering for a while, Yun Beishang defeated this damned young lady in her own game, yet it was him that became speechless furthermore: "I'll give you a kiss after you're done telling the history of the Blac-"

"Our founders go back to the ancient times, that of around millions and millions of years before our current age! However history of humanity goes, ours are ours so it is naturally obvious that it would defer from the already known theories and whatever else they've come up with. Unlike most of human history tells, we weren't some kind of neanderthals that would cannibal on each other 'just in case'; we even created some extensive and difficult to enter hidden caves that went down to 500 meters to 2 kilometers under the ground-level."

"It was at certain point where we were found by the first Crestfallen-"

Yun Beishang intervened right at this moment: "Wait, wait, wait wait! What do you mean the first Crestfallen? They... didn't they supposedly... made their first appearance... not even that many thousands of years ago, what...?"

"Oh, as I said whether or not the Crestfallen Clan came out a few thousands of years ago for everyone else in the world. For us, the Black Lotus, we were met with the Crestfallen millions, and millions of years ago. Sigh~. So, as I was saying; when our founders found the first Crestfallen, they were guided in the first steps of developing our own people's special abilities. And unlike the recently researched 'Specialists', ours is not an ability or capability per say, it is instead... our Bloodline!"

"Unlike what more Specialists go through, we, any of my Black Lotus brothers and sisters, do not need any kind of training, method nor trigger to unlock our power or superhuman abilities. However you want to call that. And, as you can already guess, we do take pride on it. Beibei, I'm also guessing that... you should now be asking yourself, whether or not your own 'perks' are also a Bloodline and not you being a Specialist?"

"..." Yun Beishang was indeed already losing himself on his own thoughts, he had a slight frown on his face as Sammy turned her head back slightly to look at him, her sharp platinum eyes ferociously adoringly looking at him as she said in her fangirl, adoring voice: "You're who you are because of how you are, hehe. Even now, I can still feel this kind of extreme nature, and unrestrained self from you. Here, let me show you."

As soon as Sammy's seemingly silly words were fully spoken out of her mouth, she separated Yun Beishang's hand and head from her own head and sat up on his waist before lowering herself a little to help Yun Beishang sit up himself.

Krgrrh~!

Then, the screeching of his clothes being torn apart as he felt his chest take in some more fresh air than before woke him up abruptly. Before he could even do or say anything, however, was because he felt Sammy's nose on his skin as she kept on making sniffing noises nonstop.

"Sa-S-Sammy? Eh, tickles so- eh, st-sto-stop!" Yun Beishang tried to stop her slightly with his hands lightly touching her head, but the only response he got from her was a few intoxicated words before becoming unseemly serious: "No, this scent, sniff~~! Yes, this is it. Ever since I saw you first, I could tell that you were quite unimaginable as a human being, sniff sniff, really amazing!"

Yun Beishang started to feel weird, with a bit of discomfort in his heart, his voice expressed the same: "Then... is your interest in me because of my body?"

"..." Drawing her head back and tilting strongly to the right, Sammy stopped perverting over Yun Beishang's chest as a helpless smile surfaced on her face as she then uttered out: "Of course not! The fuck? It is because it's you that you are like this, only you could be like this, could... be capable of emanating such sensations."

Calming down at her words, Yun Beishang breathed out in relief as he added: "Then, is it something like how only men have dicks and how women lust aft- kagh!"

In the middle of his words, a 'furious' womanly Sammy tackled him down right as he was in the middle of teasing her, she pinched his waist here and there until she found out that Yun Beishang's screams were totally fake and even purposely made to restrain his laughter.

"Moou, are you still horny? Goddammit, can't you just behave like a romantic man? Look! All around us, the atmosphere screams of romance! Come, take me right here, I'll sacrifice myself to the beast that is you. Come, come, ravish me!!" Sammy started to disrobe herself as quickly as she could but Yun Beishang could tell her hands were trembling even though it would be oblivious to the naked eye. As such, the always gentleman and righteous Yun Beishang opted for stopping her while also giving her a small kiss on the forehead.

Mwph.

"Ah..." Indeed, as soon as Sammy felt Yun Beishang's lips, she became self-absorbed before excitement surfaced across her eyes. She then said: "...but, I haven't told you the entire story."

"Mn, go on." A patient Yun Beishang allowed her to continue as he safely moved her away from his almost awoken Sleeping Dragon before going back to their previous posture of young lovebirds laying down on the small boat.

"Then, our founders, at first; weren't really fond of the first Crestfallen. And though the refused the Crestfallen's help and invitation to join him, they still nonetheless followed the steps that he had given to the founders of the Black Lotus. Some time passed as our founders slowly grew into a confused state whenever the first signs of metamorphosis appeared. In the beginning, they were afraid, as would anyone else be. But then, the higher ups of the then forming Black Lotus, the youngest officials of the community; offered everyone a great solution, offering their knee to the Crestfallen benefactor. There was discord, oh there was also bloodshed. As civilization was already know to them, so was the lust for power. Anyone else that wasn't interested in the young higher ups' plans were either too old or too ignorant for the bigger picture, and it was because of them that, our Black Lotus almost went extinct. With only 3 survivors from the inner strife, clash within the Black Lotus; 2 women an a man survived the ordeal."

"To the surprise, grief and regret of those three survivors, the first Crestfallen turned sick and disheveled when he found out what had transpired. Luckily, the first Crestfallen not only managed to completely pass on the what is now our the Black Lotus, legacy; before he passed away in his old and grieving age. But he also managed to play as the greatest matchmaker of history... Well, at least for our Black Lotus legacy, that is. As a result, a few days prior the imminent death of their teacher, master and even father; the three survivors of the Black Lotus held a wedding with only one witness to their union. The male, the groom; and two brides. Took each other, dearly and warmly in arms, as they both became the Black Lotus forefather and fore-...mothers? Hehe, in any case, they are also my ancestors so I can pretty much relate to being one of the greatest assassins of Black Lotus thanks to my Bloodline and the teachings of old grandpa Kamagichi."

"Oh! I haven't told you yet! ...When my father saw my mother shrink and become cold to the point of no return, his previous cruel ambitions and burning hatred was slowly erased as fear and hope invaded him instead. Just like... sniff, just like my mommy would've wanted to. As my father grew up thinking that he'd have to be the one to take the leadership and bring the Black Lotus beyond the stars, he started targeting the every Founding Clan and even some of Crestfallen Clan's and Industry's matters. They were all successful, at the same time, everyone was becoming more and more proud as well as brave with the rise of the Black Lotus after a long period of stagnancy. However... my father's only child birth gave an abrupt stop to all ongoing operations and any possible future development. We were, all fallen into the dark, as we waited for slow and peaceful deaths..."

"But then..." At this point, Sammy lifted her upper body a little, enough so that he would be able to see her slightly obscure face and her prominent figure -her entire body- with the help of the moons lights, as she continued; her tone becoming soft and husky: "...we remembered one of the first Crestfallen's last words..."

"And that, Yun Beishang, is where you entered my sight. 'To a world in which has evolved, that to which the black of the hearts of the lotus has finally been invaded by despair, hopelessness and grief; would the glorifying tender light of the violet path pick the shrinking black lotuses back up and grant them each a reborn.'. That is, where... you, my love, enter into the picture and grants us our purpose." Her words were equally as tender as the mentioned violet path in the first Crestfallen's words was described.

Did Yun Beishang had any idea of what was happening? Hell no! But, he indeed felt that... those weren't just words.
