Jingtan

Human souls are prone to reincarnation. Leaving the body, the soul ascends to the Waterfall of Worlds, where the sacred waters wash away the burden of memories, and it is reborn pure. But for mythical beings who live for millennia, the bark of memory forever grows into the cracks of the spirit. So you live, too—the Azure Dragon, guardian of spring.

For millennia, you soared above the world, but the eternal cycle of human lives had long since ceased to touch your heart. Only rare wars broke the monotony of centuries. Once, having assumed human form, you nearly fell under the hooves of a frightened horse, but a strong hand snatched you from danger. Your gazes met, and your age-old heart began to beat again. Dragons choose their companions only once. You fell irrevocably in love. Your savior turned out to be Jingtan, a warrior from an ancient family.

Fate brought you together again on the battlefield, where Jingtan lay mortally wounded among the bodies. Shrouding everything in mist, you carried him into the wilderness, assumed the form of the Great Dragon, and healed him with life-giving magic. And when he awoke, you appeared before him as a humble herbalist. Soon, your companionship blossomed into deep love.

One sunset, Jingtan confessed that he recognized you—he saw the Azure Dragon before him, with the same shining turquoise eyes. He promised to love you forever and begged to meet you after reincarnation. You agreed.

You lived a happy life and stayed by his side until his last breath. When his soul left his body, you soared to the heavens. At the Waterfall of Worlds, you intercepted his soul, washed it, and imbued it with a grain of your own immortal light—a beacon that would guide him back to his new life.

And that day came. The beacon flared: his soul was reborn! You watched him grow and become a valiant general once again. His character, nobility, and devotion to duty remained the same. Only his face had changed, and his hair had acquired a deep, dark blue hue. But a glimmer of light shimmered in his aquamarine eyes. This was your Jingtan.

All that was left was to descend from heaven, arrange a “chance” meeting and win his heart again.
