Welcome to Gaia! ::

[End of the Three Kingdoms]

Jiang Wei carried on Zhuge Liang’s campaign against Wei for a bitter three decades. However, Liu Bei’s son Liu Shan did not heed Jiang Wei’s advice and listened to the evil eunuch Huang Hao instead. In order to escape from the rival officials in the court, Jiang Wei decided to resign from his military title for the time being and went off to a fertile land of Tazhong. The Wei general Deng Ai, who was at war with Jiang Wei, took the chance to attack Shu Han. Deng Ai and his troops arrived in front of Chengdu, the capital city of Shu-Han, by taking a shortcut. Liu Shan surrendered without a battle and ended the Kingdom of Shu-Han. Jiang Wei planned to rebuild Shu-Han by uniting forces with a Wei general, Zhong Hui, who was at odds with Deng Ai. However, he was not able to see it to the end when his heartache grew intolerable in the midst of the final battle. Seeing the rebellion has failed, he then killed himself with a sword, marking the last stand of Shu.

In Eastern Wu, there was internal conflict among the nobles ever since the death of Sun Quan. Zhuge Ke tried to usurp the throne of Eastern Wu but was assassinated by Sun Lin. Later, Sun Lin himself also lusted for power and had the emperor of Eastern Wu Sun Liang deposed and replaced with Sun Xiu. Sun Xiu sought help from the old veteran general Ding Feng and had Sun Lin assassinated, and the power of Eastern Wu went back into the hands of the emperor. This did not last for long.

In Wei, Sima Yan, son of Sima Zhao, finally forced the last Wei emperor Cao Huan to abdicate in the same manner as Cao Pi had forced Emperor Xian of Han to abdicate. Sima Yan established the Jin Dynasty in AD 265, declaring himself the first emperor of the new dynasty. The Kingdom of Wei came to an end.

Sima Yan ordered the Jin troops to attack Eastern Wu from the former land of Shu-Han and succeeded in conquering Eastern Wu after a long period of struggle when the last tyrannical emperor of Eastern Wu, Sun Hao surrendered. Thus the Three Kingdoms period concluded after almost a century of civil strife.

Sun Jiang slowly trudged through the plains of Hung Lao. The scars from a battle long ago could still be witnessed. "Father fought here when he was younger." He said aloud and bent down picking up the dirt in his hand. He rubbed his hands together as the dirt slumped to the ground. "It's hard to believe it's been five years father. I have now come of age and I shall keep my oath to you. I vow to take Sima Yan's head and hold it in my hands. I will reclaim our honor and rebuild our family. I promise this to you, father." He spoke towards the sky, tears filling up in his eyes. He wiped his tears on the sleeve of his shirt and sighed. "A good cry never hurts every once in awhile." He spoke and looked back at the son of Zhou Tai, Zhou Quan. "What do you think of all this, Zhou Quan?" He turned around asking his guard.

"That is true, my lord. Tears are said to hold one back should they be held in for too long. But your father, my lord, he was a valiant man. He fought bravely here on this field beside many a fine general." Zhou Quan replied and bowed his head, humbled to be at a place of such importance. "It was said that your Grandfather, Sun Jian, fought here to end the cruelty of Dong Zhou. He had taken Emperor Xian and Prince Cheling under his wing and used them like pawns. Your father and many others, under the leadership of Yuan Shao, fought here. They did not slay him, but forced him to retreat where he was later slain by his adoptive son, Lu Bu."

"I know, Zhou Quan. My father has told me the story many times over. But thank you, I have not heard the story since his passing. It actually makes me smile." Sun Jiang answered and slowly sat on the ground, leg criss-crossed. Zhou Quan sat in front of him, a smile plastered on his face. "Zhou Quan. I am told your father fought valiantly along side my father as well. Sons of great warriors converseing together. My sister, though she abhors violence, inherited our father's ferocity, same as me. Speaking of which. I left her in the care of many of our finest soldriers. I would have sent you as well, but she wouldn't have it." He told him and the clouds overhead grew dark and malevolent. The thunder roared overhead signaling the approaching storm. "We shall stay til it rains, then we will leave." He told Zhou Quan who only nodded and smiled.

As the rain began to poor down, Sun Jiang slowly rose to his feet and looked at Zhou Quan. He nodded slowly and smiled a bit as he jumped up on his horse and then laid down on the back of it, letting the rain land softly on his face and trickle down his cheeks. "To Guan Du, Zhou Quan. Perhaps I can find more loyal troops." He ordered and gave his horse a gentle pat as it started galloping towards Guan Du. Sun Jiang fell asleep during the long ride and was only awoken by the raging thunder. He slowly sat up and rubbed his eyes as he looked around the outskirts of Guan Du. He noticed a young beautiful women sitting outside in the rain. Hmm. Peculiar. He thought to himself and nudged his horse toward Lui Mai. He jumped down off his horse and took his jacket off walking over towards her. He held his jacket over top of her head, stopping the rain from pouring down on her. "Miss, do you need a place to stay tonight?" He asked softly and looked at Zhou and urged him to continue on.





Zhou Quan nodded his head and urged his own horse forward as well. He watched Sun Jiang as he fell asleep and chuckled softly. "My lord, you are most like your father. More than you know." He whispered softly and remained quiet until they neared the outskirts of Guan Du. He noticed the young woman as well and went to warn Sun Jiang about going off but it was too late. He got that look from Sun Jiang and nodded, making his way into the city to secure their lodgings for the next few nights. As he neared a nice looking inn, he walked inside after stableing his horse and paid for three rooms, just in case. He then went back outside and stood near the entrance to wait for his lord.

Sun Jiang listened intently to her story, picking up on her voice as well. When trained well enough, one could pick up lies from a person's voice due to fluctuations and the tightening one one's vocal chords when nervous. He could pick out no fluctuations at the moment so she must be telling the truth, for now anyways. "The pleasure is mine, Lui." He said and waved Zhou Quan off, who then made his way inside. He turned to take anothe look at Lui and slowly walked around her in a circle, looking her up and down. Hmm...something seems..off... He thought to himself but couldn't put his finger on it as he came to a stop in front of her once more.

He noticed her look at the ground for second before meeting his eyes once more and answering his question. At her words, he bowed his head slightly. "My deepest apologies on the loss of your father. I have a sister, though I left her the care of my few most trusted men. She knows how to fight, but she dislikes shedding blood. As for my father, he was killed a few years back. My mother, took her own life afterwards." He said before he could catch himself and hit himself internally. Sun-Jiang what the hell? Your spilling your guts to a complete stranger, and one who might be Sima-Yan's pawn. He thought to himself and was dragged from his thoughts by her question.

"Ah, I was searching for a rumour to lead me to my father's killer. I thought it best to travel with fewer men to avoid detection. I can fight, and do not care to spill blood if need be so as I said, that is why I left most of my men with my dear sister. Zhou Quan here and my sister, would not have me travel alone. Though, I am going to dismiss him really soon to return to my sister. He can not refuse my order and my sister will not know until it is too late. So, I will be able to go places alone I could not with him. But, please, perhaps we should talk more inside." He said and at these words, it started to pour down even harder. He grabbed Lui's hand without thinking and quickly led her inside out of the rain. He was used to holding his sister's hand so when they got inside, he did not release her hand out of instinct. He ran his free hand backwards through his hair throwing a little water here and there.
