Shi Mao surprised himself when a single tear rolled down his cheek, the only sign that he too had felt compassion to Mi Zhang. He wish it had been the old days, when they'd just taken the city. Those were such better times. Alas, maybe times would become better now?
[yellow]"Indeed.. no more blood shall be spilt today. I, as acting councilor of the city, allow you entrance."[/yellow]
In his shame Shi Mao rode back to the city, his escort behind him as he told of the news. The magistrate Zhao Ti, Mi Zhang's right hand man, was shocked by this, and upon recollection of the events decided to leave the city. The troops surrendered their weapons and the citizens slowly watched the large Wei army form up inside of their walls. It was obvious things were going to change.
[yellow]'Zhao Ti, what are you doing here?"[/yellow] Shi Mao wondered why the warrior was off at the point just west of the city, was he leaving too?
[black]"I no longer belong in such a city, these times.. I no longer belong in them either.. but tell me Shi Mao, why do you leave Wan too? Was it not you that always admired Wei?"[/black]
Zhao Ti fiddled with the reigns of his horse as he looked up at the older man, whom he'd always thought very wise and powerful despite the fact he carried no blade. [yellow]"I.. I can't bear to stay there either. Things just aren't right, Wei is powerful but, are they really true? Beyond their values, beyond their power, what is the difference between the many lords of these lands."[/yellow] Mao sighed, gazed up at the moon and spoke a few more words..
[yellow]"I'm going, and I'm not stopping till I find myself, and the purpose of us, of all of us... if you want to come Zhao Ti, then I would be pleased."[/yellow]
Zhao Ti caught Mao's eye, and smiled, trusting his fate with the man's words. He needed to do some searching as well, he nodded and the two were off. Where to, they did not know, but eventually- they would be there.
A duo that will be seen again.
