Huixin paused as the all too familiar question of “what happened” was asked. “Well, apparently I wasn’t careful enough. I failed to notice a piece of metal near her feet. And somehow….well, she used it to pick the cuffs and escape. I couldn’t stop her, and I somehow got injured in the process too” "...You have a history with her? The ESA Head?" Huixin gives a strained smile, before nodding. “Somewhat. We were….well, we were friends in our childhood.” And she refused to say anything more than that, throwing Aleks and Shieta a grateful smile. Just as she finished her very poor explanation to Shieta and Aleks, Ostium burst into the room, screaming his head off. Or something. Huixin was too focused on the new pain in her head to remember “Ostium, please. Stop screaming. My head hurts…and why are you here? How’s the mission? Asper, Cassius, are they okay? I have enough trust in my executive that she can handle herself but if you’re here it means something’s probably gone wrong? You…don’t look hurt, so that’s good.” [Read more] |

When she came to in the real world, she was woozy and tired, and her head hurt like hell. Huixin looked up at Shieta, smiling faintly at her “Thanks for saving me” “I hope I didn’t scare you too much……but I probably did, given how many times I felt close to death” “Either way, Aleksandr got her cuffed, but apparently there was a bit of metal she used to escape. Tricky one. We’ll get her eventually.” Huixin updates Shieta, as she sits up on the operating table. “…I look like shit” [Read more] |

She followed Dream Ophelia to the stables near the creek, before picking out a sweet looking little horse Huixin helped Dream Ophelia get on, and they rode for miles, across the starry sky, lay to rest amongst the lily fields. Then the weeping willow extended her loving arms, the golden gates opening to the world of stars. Huixin was having the time of her life. That was, until she noticed a figure looking a lot like Shieta, beckoning her away frantically. Her gut told her to follow Shieta, but her heart told her otherwise. Who to follow? [Read more] |

Drifting in and out of consciousness, she could faintly see a gorgeous meadow. Littered with Strelitzia flowers, and ponds with lotus flowers. Peaceful, tranquil and idyllic. And a shining figure clad in silk. Ophelia Dream Ophelia was beckoning her into Death’s embrace, and Huixin was more than ready to follow [Read more] |

“Things are fine, Xuanji. Your end is good, I presume? Keep an eye on things for a bit, we’ll meet back up at our base. The backup one we sometimes use” With a groan, she sent her complete clone to the streets. Missing an eye, arm mangled and gory, the clone Huixin was a horrifying sight. And soon enough, one of the ESA members found it, sending a picture to Ophelia. “Good job, boss” The ESA member sent along with the attachment of the photo. It would stall the ESA for now, but it definitely wouldn’t be permanent. They’d find out about the body’s…mismatch soon enough. [Read more] |

Her leg was killing her. She felt like it was on fire. Still, Huixin pushed on, working fast to create her clone……at the cost of her own health, of course. The phone slipped out of her grasp, falling on the carpet For Ophelia For her Anything for her [Read more] |

“I’m kinda injured, can you help?” Kinda injured was an understatement. She was bleeding. Badly. She might actually pass from the blood loss Huixin stumbles into her chair, using her magic to weave a copy of herself, picking pieces from various bodies to assemble the Frankenstien-her. She wasn’t going to let Ophelia suffer. Not if she could help it. Time to piñata her ‘body’~ [Read more] |

Huixin kissed Ophelia’s cheek tenderly, before she rips into her own skin, smearing the blood on Ophelia’s hands “Tell them you’re close. That you gave me severe injuries, and are just taunting me. Playing with your prey like a cat” Huixin smiles, fading away into nothing as a frightened, confused civilian takes her place. [Read more] |

She let Ophelia embrace her “I’d rather die than let you get hurt.” Huixin whispers softly, warm arms wrapping around Ophelia, resting her head on the shorter woman’s. “But I’m not getting captured either.” She repeats stubbornly. Huixin was conflicted. To escape would be to hurt Ophelia. But to surrender was another hell in itself [Read more] |

Huixin murmurs, placing a gentle hand on Ophelia’s cheek, savouring the moment, before stepping away and gripping the hilt of the blade once more. As she backs away, Huixin unknowingly kicks a thin metal strip towards Ophelia. Just enough for her to pick the cuffs. Huixin smiles and closes her eyes, moving the sword’s blade to her neck, a look of near peace on her face [Read more] |

Huixin smiles softly. “Don’t struggle. If anything, it will only hurt. I have trust in Aleks that these ability restriction cuffs are effective” In a more serious tone, she asks “You won’t be punished for your failure, will you? They’ve given you enough time…to eradicate us?” She reaches out, one hand gently placed on Ophelia’s. [Read more] |

Ophelia was suddenly cut off by a bullet that decided to pierce her shoulder. Huixin nearly jumped out of her skin and turned around “Yeah, I am. Thanks, Aleks” Huixin flashed Aleksandr a small smile. “Thanks. She can’t hurt anyone now. Evacuate the place, you, Shieta, Saeng-i….and anyone else alive. Give everyone a call, check up on where they are and tell them we’re moving. We’ll retreat to our backup base of operations.” “I’ll handle things from here. Go make sure the rest of us are okay. Bring Shieta first so she can help whoever needs it” Huixin turns to Ophelia, sitting down in the chair opposite hers [Read more] |

And no, I’m sorry, Ophelia. But it’s either I die or…well, there really is only option. But it’s okay. If you can’t kill me then…well I can’t escape. There’s no point. So I might as well just… Huixin’s hand reached out for the blade, tracing a finger over it almost dreamily [Read more] |

Huixin agrees “But I’m not going to accept being some toy of the government. I don’t want to fight….but I will if I have to.” She pauses “Are you really going to kill me, Opal? Because I’d be happier if you do it. All my affairs are in order, my family will function just fine without me. I’m ready to die” [Read more] |

“Too law abiding for my liking, Opal” “Does it not? I don’t need to die for this to be over. That I doubt. The Elite Security Department wants me dead. Still, I rather you be the one to do it. I don’t want to do this….but I’m not going down without a fight.” Huixin scoffed “To think I’d be brainwashed into submission, muzzled and restricted like some dog for the government. No thank you.” [Read more] |

“Time flies when you’re having fun messing with the government” Huixin frowns at the next statement, a quieter “I held a grudge against you the moment you left me and chose….them instead” Her voice was no more than a whisper, before she shook her head, the trace of hurt disappearing from her gaze, replaced by a steely glare. “You’ve always been horrifyingly good at following orders. Enjoying the restrictive, oppressive government?” [Read more] |

She types back quickly, before crushing said phone under her foot and tossing it out in the window. No way in hell was she endangering the kids. She’d rather die than ask the young hacker for help and risk losing someone she cared about. “Opal. A pleasant surprise. I would say unpleasant, but we both know I’d be lying. Somewhat.” The nickname rolls out almost lazily, Huixin’s eyes sharp yet somehow also….soft? as she looked at Ophelia. Poor thing looked exhausted, and in need of a good hug. She shook that thought aside as soon as it came into her mind. Standing up, she invited the latter to sit, hand tightly clutching the hilt of the opal-engraved sword, the light that shined on it reflecting a cursive “O.S” [Read more] |

Huixin chuckles dryly, as she observes the ESA leader through the cameras. “It’s like chess, is this not? You have to sacrifice some pieces to win. And the pawns are always first to die” “You and I both know I would prepare for your arrival. So why not sit back and relax? You’ll have to come find me to capture me eventually. Might as well make the most of my time being comfortable” “Come find me, Miss Ophelia. I’d love to chat” [Read more] |

“No need for formalities, Miss Ophelia.” “…My only order was to bring you and our top-level operatives back alive.” Huixin barely flinched as her men dropped to the ground. Pawns were always sacrificed first in chess, after all. And those she cared about….? They should be safe. “Come find me then. I’ll be waiting” [Read more] |

Messages swarmed in from all departments, and she sighed To Aleks: “Yeah….i know. Do whatever you can to stay safe and attack.” To Xuanji: “Thanks…………stay safe. You and Poe. Abandon the drones if I tell you, and run.” To Shieta: “You and Saeng-i shouldn’t be fighting. I need my medics in tip-top shape in case of any casualties.” Huixin used the intercoms once more as Ophelia entered “I paid a lot for that door, you know? It’d be nice if you didn’t just crumple it up” [Read more] |
