It's a city. But not this one.

( said rather unhelpfully. but xiaohei had seen the subway for that city, and he had seen all of its many, many people. he has lived there for some time. he has only seen a little bit of this city, but he feels like he can already tell enough differences to be confident in saying he knows where he isn't. it looks different. it smells different.

empty. it's oddly chilling.

it only reminds him of one place.

he considers what kai says for a long moment before asking rather bluntly. )


It's not someone's spiritual space?

( domain. it had actually been an ability — an extremely rare one — that xiaohei himself had once possessed. but then fengxi had betrayed him, stolen it, and used it for himself. when he projected his spiritual space over the city, imposing his own rule over its natural laws... it had seemed like this, in a way. empty. unsettling. wrong.

xiaohei sometimes thinks it's best that that power had been lost. he thinks he would try to use it as good as he can, but... some things are too powerful to be held purposelessly. just like when he had given away the Heavenly Pearl to those who could use it. )


I was in one once, a really big one, and it was sort of like this.
