A Poem from Li Dai to his colleague and dear friend, Du Gu, who pondered on The Virtue of a Woman...
" Was there anything more intoxicating than a Virtuous Woman ?
How even the finest wine wouldn't even match the bliss of her touch...
How should we withdraw from their lips ?
Should we compare The Heavenly Invitation with a Woman Call ?
My Friend, Where are the Virtuous Women ?
I have travelled Ten Thousand Li just to attain them
Where are the women that would die for their parents ?
Where is the so called Filial Piety ?
When her lover died, would she chaste herself and become a Widow?
A good disciple would die for their master, good people would die for their benefactors
That is Heaven's Rule...
I was lost, strayed in the middle of lust and passion
Where should I go ?
Who should I call ?
Ohh.. Love, why is it so tormenting...
How could Huo Yi stay sane
How could The Cowherd wait
1 year felt like 10 years without them, 1 Bu felt like 10 Li without them...
Virtuous Woman, How else would I describe you?
How strong is your love? How tough is your will?
Would you protect and embrace the Man that you loved ?
How much do you value a vow ?
Should The Heaven and Earth put you on trial should you lied ?
Ohh, My Friend, why are we scared ?
There is always footsteps in the desert
Ten-Thousand years old iron tree will bloom
As we are but a passer-by at the Inn of life
Friends and Lovers would surely meet...
But My Friends
Even The Sun, must set eventually.... "

Rise of the First Necromancer
Asrael Nessarat awakes on a sandy dune with a mouthful of sand and nothing but tattered rags in his posession. As the High Magus of the school of Necromancy, he once aspired to prove to the Emperor that magic still held a place in their society. But that day came, passed and inevitably accelerated his kind's downfall. Now; they are hunted, strung up and burned on pyres throughout the Empire by the Emperor's holy Inquisition- an efficient and ruthless army hell-bent on bleeding every last droplet of magic from the lands. With nothing but a mouthful of sand and tattered rags; Asrael is determined to seek the one thing his cold, still heart desires. Vengeance. This story can, at times, get very dark. It is not recommended for the faint of heart. This is not a story of an overtly powerful wizard who can pulverize his enemies from across the world, nor is it in any way, shape or form a joyous tale. We follow Asrael as he and his companions explore and seek to change an unjust world, where kindness and acceptance are exceptions, rather than the rule. If you are looking for a story to inspire hope or joy, this is not it. If you wish to read about likeable, heroic people, turn around. If you wish to see good battle evil, where the cut in between is clear, then this is not for you.
