Plot: You're the nature deity reminiscing on the past, thinking back to your starter days and how you met Nezha [fluff]

____________________________________

You sat atop a cliff, looking out on the land before you- the vibrant flowers that gently blew in the crisp breeze. You hummed, lifting up the palm of your hand. You watched intently as you made a purple peony bloom in your hands. How did you have this power? Well, you remembered it all too well, but you remember nothing from your mortal life. It's said when a human converts to a god, they only remember major things in their past life. 

Like Chang'E, last time you visited her, she said there is only one thing she remembered from her mortal life: the day she married her late husband Houyi, which in her words, was the happiest and most amazing day of her life. 

You on the other hand? You don't remember anything, you weren't even meant to be the nature deity, all you remember is the day you were "blessed" to be the nature god. That was ages ago, 4000 years ago to be exact. You sighed with defeat, the purple peony wilting in your hand, every time you used your powers for good, you were only reminded of the childhood that was taken away from you.

But you felt sort of fortunate to have been chosen to be the nature deity, you got to make powerful alliances, make friends with beings that were far beyond your power, fight for what's right. But your fighting days were long gone, after the battle against the Lady Bone Demon almost 2 years ago, you just fought normal thugs and small time criminals trying to make it to the big leagues. 

You sighed, remembering the day you became the nature deity as if it was yesterday. Sometimes you wondered what would've happened if you hadn't followed that butterfly you saw on that fate changing day...







You were playing around with the other village kids until something out in the corner of your eye caught your attention. A beautiful butterfly with sparkly golden wings and traces of hot pink. You immediately lost all sense of awareness, mindlessly following the butterfly into the forest nearby, the other kids didn't seem to notice as they were too busy playing around. 

The sound of laughter got quieter and quieter as you treaded further into the forest with the butterfly which seemed to be leading you somewhere. You giggled, reaching your arm out to try and reach the butterfly it wasn't until you reached a clearing that your focus was averted to a young woman lying in the middle of the clearing under the sunlight. 

You gasped, running over to the young woman, you got a good look at her features. She had pinkish-tan skin tone with cuts and bruises littered on her and long, wavy black hair. She wore a flower crown that looked to be made of the most beautiful flowers the world had to offer, she wore a silky chiton that had flower patterns all around the bottom edges, two gold armlets, and a single gold spaulder on her left shoulder. She had the clothing of royalty, you thought she must've been in a dynasty of sorts.

It wasn't until you looked up at her face that you realized something off, she had black makeup dragging down like she was crying earlier. "Ma'am? Are you okay?" You asked her, gently shaking her, she opened her eyes, looking down at you. She smiled weakly as she saw your worrying face.

"Are you okay, lady?" You asked her again, she simply weakly chuckled at your question. "Yes, I am magnificent right now" She responded, moving her arm slightly to lock hands with you. "But you look hurt! You sure you're fine?" You questioned her once more. She tittered, "You're a curious little one, aren't you?" She asked cheekily.
