Wei Wuxian

"Do you have the invitation, Wuxian?" Wen Qing, proud daughter of the Wen Clan Master Siyu, asked at his childhood friend, knowing he had the tendency to do things in his mischievous way. They were about to embark in a new journey to the Cloud Recesses, located in the floating islands in the north of the continent, to study under the guidance of the immortals to better safe keep their people from the attacks of the never ending wave of the undead.

"Of course I have it. Father make me take it out in front of him to make sure I got it. You know he will kill me if I got expelled before I even have the chance to enter the Cloud Recesses." Wei Ying said as he moved closer to the border of the very high cliff that had an open and magnificent view of the few east Clans. Even thought there was a dark mountain that could be seen in the far distance, the rest of the view was breathtaking inside the barriers that protected their homes. It had take a lot of effort and handwork to make their lands, with less white energy, their own paradise, but they were like a big family in the east and the effort was by all mean worthy.

And about that, he was Wei Ying, better known as Wei Wuxian and the only the son of the Wei Clan Master Lao, who was as kind as he was fearsome. His father was also the leader of the east Clans in general and the representative of their people to those overconfident people of the north, who had the best resources of everything with no real effort to get them and were called the main big Clans.

"Good. I don't want for those fools coming from the main Clans to make fun of us right at the Lan Clan's front door." Wen Qing said, giving Wei Wuxian a penetrating gaze that make him smile. Wen Qing was by all means the stronger woman in the east and also the best healer in the entire continent to his opinion. Those few outsiders that came to their towns were always looking for her skills to cure a disease or condition no one else in the north could and giving her unmistakable air of nobility around her, make others respect her for more than her healing skills. However, she was always fun to tease when the rare opportunity arises.

"Ah, Wen Qing... you talk big now, but I bet that as soon as you see those handsome 'fools' you will melt away in the act. I even hear said that the Gusu Lan Clan had a pair of striking handsome brothers called the Twin Jades, one look at them and you will fall in love at first sight. Want to bet on that? I'm sure you will get all girly then." Wen Qing unexpectedly blushed, taking out a few sharp needles from one of her many secret pockets in one of her sleeves.

"I dare you to say that again, Wuxian." She coldly said, making Wei laugh and her brother, Wen Ning, to put a hand on her shoulders. Wen Ning was always the kind mediator between them, a gentle soul that almost everyone in the east was found off.

"Sister, please... Wei Ying is just joking." Wen Ning said, calming her down. He was definitely the gentler soul of the Wen's, loved by his people for his undying kindness and soft heart. Although some unscrupulous kids often try to bull him when alone, which was the main reason why his sister was so damn right fierce. She had taken upon herself the hard task to protect his younger brother from anyone who try to abuse his kindness.

The Wei Clan and the Wen Clan, where the main ones in the east part of the country, so the two have a friendly relationship with each other and often go night hunting's all over their lands to keep their people safe. Wei Ying could see from where he stood, the huge doomed seals of both of  their Clans shining just slightly reddish, barely noticeable from below.

Although he color was faint, the energy from which they had been make was strong enough to keep the walking corpses away from their towns for centuries and they were proud to be known for making the best barriers around, with none of them been breached so far, even when the most dangerous place on that continent was visible from where they stood.
