A Song of Ice & Fire

Run Yu is now the all-powerful Heavenly Emperor. All things said and done, he should be grateful. Unfortunately, it was not that he craved power just for the sake of it, but no one believes it now. He is only going on because he was the one who staged a coup and now, the throne is his responsibility. Still, he is utterly exhausted. Total oblivion seems so tempting. Until...he is given a task he cannot refuse.

For little Tantai Jin, life is difficult but he clings to it. Barely. He hardly understands the world around him, especially, the loathing that he sees in everyone's eyes. He does not know how long he can hold on. On top of that, he feels a terrifying presence inside his head. It hurts a lot when it speaks to him. Tantai Jin tries to close his ears, but the thing is INSIDE him. There is no place to escape, not a single ray of light visible through the chinks anywhere. Then, something strange happens and his lonely, animalistic existence is thrown into disarray. The moon from the sky floats into his room and talks to him. Maybe, something is going to change. Maybe, he will not die a horrible death before long and get carried away by the hounds of hell after all.
