My family say that birthdays are big days for Tianheng Thaumaturges and that we should never take them lightly.

I had planned to go up the mountain to perform prayer rituals with the elders of my clan this year ... that no longer is possible. Still, I'm left thinking about how it would have been, as well as what I would have listed for my wishes. I know that I would have prayed for my cherished friends, and those that I've met. Since I can't climb Mt. Tianheng for the ritual now, I'll say it this way.

I wish you all pleasant journeys, safety, and peace.

Aside from that ... one great wish I have this birthday is to learn more about the spirits and supernatural of other worlds.

Since we have all come from different places, I was hoping — will you tell me of your experiences with the otherworldly, when you were back home? I'd like to hear true stories, but I do also really enjoy a good hair-raising story or legend if you know of any.

( spooky stories for september! ♥ feel free to threadjack as you please. )

What's that Chongyun? You were planning to climb what mountain again? Well, I am ever so glad you have not found yourself in a place where there is a Mt. Tainheng. I would surely miss your company if we were flung apart to different lands.

As for stories? How about the young exorcist who was unable to spell and was forced to write more than a billion lines in a single night by his elder? Otherwise, well, I believe there isn't a story I know that you haven't heard of.

Obviously these were old plans, talked about months ago during one of the clan meetings. What do you think they’re doing now, in our absence? Our families.

… a billion lines feels like an exaggeration. As for stories about spirits, that’s probably true, but you know far more stories than me outside of that. Tell me about your favorite one you’ve read since we came here, then.

Oh, Chongyun.

[ That is not what he meant by his remark. Not at all. However, some errors can be easily edited. However, living here is not the type of mistake that can be easily amended. For all the good moments they have experienced, for all the amazing and unique things they may have witnessed, and perhaps what more there is to come he can't say he is satisfied to be so far from home. There is no expectation that it's a shared sentiment therefore it is pointless to speak of it. ]

As of the moment? Continue life. What more can they do? Although initially, I did imagine Xu must have searched all over for me. As for my brother and father, well they were probably quite upset I was absent and then I never came back. I would like to believe that they wouldn't assume it wasn't due to my own choice. But...

I am sure you were searched for. For many days, weeks, months... but there does come the point when people must move on. Not to imply hope has been lost but if a mother loses a child, she cannot neglect her other children.

As for a story. Aren't you being greedy?

Why Hu tao is retelling you a wondrous story already. Why would you want to hear about any that I've come across when what I've read would pale in comparison to that sparkling tale?
