I move my hand up my side. I splash water on the wound. I wince. I don't expect it to heal. Most of my wounds don't. I have a nasty cut on my shoulder. The water's a little cold. I ignite fire in my hand and place it in the water. Bubbles start rising up as steam emerges. My friend jumps on my arm. I look down at it. I'll admit having a demon hand for a friend is pretty nice. 

I splash water on my face. I don't miss Lotus Pier at all. The one thing I want from it is for its destruction. I will come with fire. I will come with death, and I will burn the living daylight's out of it.

No one will stop me. I doubt anyone still knows I'm alive. I bet Yanli and Jiang Cheng think I'm dead. Lan Zhan... I don't know about him. Ever since the cave I think he's either glad I'm dead or looking for me. However, Lady Yu Ziyuan is more than glad that I'm dead. I hate her. I hated her then and I hate her even more now.

I hate everyone in Lotus Pier now. Including Yanli and Jiang Cheng maybe not as much. But I still don't like them anymore. I pull myself out of the water and wrap the black cloak around me. One falls down as blood drips. I'll show them what prison did to me. How I lost an arm and the other one turned demonic. Soon everyone will feel God's wrath.
