“My life is yours!” the soldier howled. It sounded like a battle cry; like a wounded wolf yearning for the moon. Under Xie Lian’s fingertips, that very life sang, a drum of war. “My life is yours,” Hong’er repeated quietly, grip finally, finally faltering. “So, please…” Only then did Xie Lian understand. This wasn’t disobedience. This wasn’t a one-person riot at the worst possible moment. This wasn’t defiance. This was a prayer. And Xie Lian was a god.
