I jump back. He charges at me. I slam my flute into his hands.

"You'll pay for what you did." I say.

"To whom? You? I saved you." He throws me back.

Lan Zhan catches me. Mai Yin Charges at Shiyo Wuxian. She throws the blades forward. He dodges. Lan Zhan charges. The giants charge. Mai Yin throws her hands out. Strings shoot out and tangle them. She throws her hands up. They crumble like sand.

"Remind me never to piss you off." I say.

"Heh." She brushes herself off. 

"Not bad, but..." Shiyo Wuxian turns.

He takes out the Shin Nu Dagger.

"That doesn't belong to you!" Mai Yin yells.

"If that is true, where does it belong?" He turns to me.

Lan Zhan puts his arm in front of me.

"The savior?" He asks.

Mai Yin looks at me.

"Of course! It's you!" Mai Yin grabs my arm.

"What?" I ask.

"From what was broken and burned shall be whole once more." Shiyo Wuxian chants.

"I've been looking for you for so long!" Mai Yin yells.

"I'm confused." I say.

Lan Zhan looks at her.

"Can someone please explain this to me?" I ask.

"And now I have no choice but to kill you." Shiyo Wuxian says.

He charges. Mai Yin shoots forward. Lan Zhan literally throws me back. Lan Zhan charges. He blasts ice out. They dodge. I stand up. I look around. Where... where did he go? I brush myself off. I take a few steps.

"Did... did we win?" Mai Yin asks.

"He's still here." Lan Zhan says.

"Where?" I ask.

"Right behind you." I hear.

I turn. He slams something down into my chest. I let out a scream.

"Wei Ying!" Lan Zhan yells.

I look down and realized he stabbed me with the Shin Nu Dagger. I hiss as it burns my chest. I've felt a lot of pain in my lifetime, but this is strange. It feels like blackness. Like tar flooding through my veins. I see black smoke emanating from the dagger. The eyes start glowing on the dagger.

"You will undergo tremendous suffering, but... if you're strong enough." He whispers in my ear.
