Murim Recurve Chapter 269

"Mokshu Pe'Cha…Pe'Cha…" Re'Fua frowned, "I seem to have heard her name before."
"Mokshu Pe'Cha…right, I remember now," Re'Gra became slightly excited as his eyes widened, gazing at Re'Rel, "Brother's standards are too high."
"What do you mean by that?" Re'Rak was confused for a moment, frowning when he noticed the gazes of his children. Re'Kha and Re'Dha didn't seem aware of it, but Re'Fua and Re'Gra seemed to know the person of discussion.
Re'Gra looked at Re'Bah, "Mom, she's titled Maiden of the Kite. She was awarded that title after creating her own Pranic Art. She's young, but through some fortuitous encounter, she gained enlightenment to create her Pranic Art. She's the record holder for the fastest creation of a Pranic Art in the water element now and was awarded the title only a month ago. You haven't been to the Water Sect for quite some time, so you might not have heard about it. After the Kalhas retreated, I got a letter from my friend in the Water Sect. He talked about her in passing."
"Yeah," Re'Fua too nodded, "I too heard of her name when I was departing from the Southern Sect. It seems the information is only being circulated through the Sects for now. But soon, it would be leaked into the public."
She then looked at Re'Rak, "Dad, if you want big brother to marry someone like her, you have to move fast. Even the Royal Clans might be thinking of roping someone like her through marriage."
"So, it's like that, huh." Re'Rak nodded, deep in thought.
In the meantime, Re'Bah made eye contact with Re'Rel, noticing his slightly anxious expression, "Don't worry. Your mother will take care of it."
Re'Rel looked into her eyes, watching at her confident expression as he beamed with a smile, nodding in response. His mother wasn't one to beat about the bush or state anything without a certain level of confidence. If she gave her word, it was as good as a done deal.

Re'Bah looked at her husband, "I'm sure our son is a great match for her."
"Then," She looked at Re'Gra, waving her hand as the head servant brought her a box. She pushed it towards him, saying, "I got you a gift to hone your abilities."
"A Gift for me?" Re'Gra was confused for a moment, looking around as he failed to understand why. He had no noteworthy achievements to speak about. If anyone were to receive a gift from Re'Bah, it ought to be Re'Rel, who has accomplished a lot, Re'Fua, who was making a name for herself, or Re'Kha, who had been making a lot of contributions from the start.
But thinking of the recent blunder by Re'Kha, he knew she wouldn't receive anything from Re'Bah. But no matter what, he hadn't done anything. Curious, he looked at the box, opening it in anticipation as the contents within were revealed.
For a moment, he was stupefied, lost for words. Rather, he wasn't even able to believe his eyes, feeling as if he was in a dream. The other siblings, except Re'Kha, were stupefied too, looking at their mother in bewilderment.
Even though she knew of it beforehand, Re'Kha acted like she too was shocked. After all, in the box was a hammer, a Magic Artifact. Moreover, the reason for their expression was because this Hammer Magic Artifact was enough to cause a family's rise to power.
After all, it was the tool used in the creation of Magic Artifacts. Even the elemental weapons produced by it would be top-notch.
"Without a hammer, your talents would be wasted. This is my gift for you to achieve your dreams." Re'Bah smiled casually.
As for Re'Gra, he was still in his reverie, touching the tip of the Hammer Magic Artifact as he felt its coldness, the solidity, and the abundant Water Qi within it, "It's real!"

He held the hammer in his hands, forgetting everything else as he seemed entranced by it, forcing his Will on it as he unleashed his Water Qi, soon creating a bond with it. And, the moment he activated it, the hammer produced a hum and radiated blinding blue radiance, for a moment making everyone feel as if they were within the ocean.
He then deactivated it as tears formed in his eyes, overjoyed, breaking out of his lazy character as he became hyper, intending to wield it immediately. "Dad, where is our stash of Water Qi rich items?"
"I'll show them to you in the evening. You can start working on them after that." Re'Rak laughed, clearly pleased with his son's enthusiasm. He knew that with enough spirit, his son would excel in the field.
As long as they had a path to develop themselves, he would be content with them.
Re'Bah then announced, "I have bought a Water Qi Essence. We have enough for the next decade to use in our personal meditation room. We no longer need to waste our resources to use the Clan's common meditation room. When you wish to meditate, use that."
Finally, she faced Re'Kha, "Now, the Elders have summoned everyone to gather in the main hall during noon. They'll be discussing about the Magic Artifact you have lost. What do you plan to do? And," Only now did she looked at Re'Kha seriously, "Why haven't you returned home until now if you were fine."
"She wasn't fine," Re'Rak said, "And, she isn't responsible for losing that damn Magic Artifact. If anything, the Central Lake Head has to take the blame."
"If it was just due to her plotting, it would have been easy," Re'Bah countered, gazing at Re'Kha as she spoke, "Well, I didn't train you to be silent. So, what do you think?"
"Burmat Re'Kya too was involved," Re'Kha sighed, feeling stifled at the atmosphere, "Whatever might have been the case, since I was the one wielding the Magic Artifact, the blame would only fall on me, since the Clan lent it to me in the first place."
Upon hearing her answer, Re'Bah smiled a little, "As long as you understand that. Then, how do you plan to manoeuvre through it in the presence of the Elders?"

Yin-Yang
Mages in North America seem to have it all – typically from well-off families, and able to manipulate their environment in ways most of the world would never believe. They don’t even have to bother with the mundane details of life like housework, thanks to their sensitives, who also make a useful source for extra magical energy. After all, sensitives have no use for it themselves, and if mages weren’t meant to make use of it, then the sensitives would obviously have some way to prevent that. That a mage can transform a sensitive physically, with no restrictions beyond overall mass and basic biological viability, whereas magic tends not to work directly on any other living thing, is only further proof. And look at the way they live on their own, barely a step above animals. It’s better for them to belong to a mage. Sensitives in North America live on the edge of society and survival – typically so paranoid they avoid hospitals and anything else that could lead to being tracked, many of them with little or no education and no legal identity or existence. Mages exist, and mages want sensitives for some reason, but no one ever comes back to explain what that reason is. Waiting every day for the hunters to notice them doesn’t lead to much motivation or hope for the future. And once they’re captured, they’re the property of someone with a terrifying amount of power over them. Anything is better than capture. Mages are born to be the masters, and sensitives are born victims. Or are they? Jax’s life is turned upside-down when he’s caught by the hunters and sold to a mage. Andreas is still mourning for his previous sensitive, though, unconsciously creating a difficult standard for Jax to live up to, all the more so while still struggling to come to terms with this new reality as Andreas’ sensitive. A runaway sensitive isn’t what Van expects at the mental health centre. Is this a hunter trap, set for him and the rest of the Donovan family by the hunters? The hunters would, after all, love to see them cross the line openly and finally do something they can be charged with. Either way, Miranda’s genuinely in trouble, and he can’t just abandon her to it. Snatching a sensitive out from under the hunters and hiding her is odd behaviour for a mage – but then, Catherine is an odd mage, living in disgrace in the old servants’ quarters of her grandmother’s house, responsible for cooking and housework. Lila owes Catherine her freedom; is there a way to help Catherine achieve her own, and at what price? Tension is building between traditionally-minded mages and those advocating change, and something has to break. *** Yin-Yang includes a small amount of profanity and no graphic sex or on-screen physical violence. However, sex and gender roles and relationships within the mage/sensitive subculture are non-traditional in mainstream North American terms. The key criterion in a primary relationship is not relative sex or gender, but the pairing of mage and sensitive; given the transformation of sensitives by their mages, physical sex is non-absolute for a sensitive, and gender identity can vary as in anyone else. *** *** The way mages treat sensitives is extremely varied and, in some cases is outright abusive. The struggle against that is pretty much the point of the book. It is NOT grimdark or misery-porn! However, if you will be triggered by this, please, don't read Yin-Yang! *** Complete stand-alone novel, 153K words! Also available on Scribble Hub and as a free ebook.

Several of the stories are quite old so the writing style and mood of the pieces may shift in between each title. Some stories are flash fiction, and so may seem rather brief and abrupt. This story will be uploaded in a non-linear format.
