"Teach me that move!" - traincarsandstars (bailu to dan heng <3)

Sparring/Training || Accepted @traincarsandstars

Dan Heng can't help smile at her enthusiasm. Bailu eagerness to learn both Cloudhymn magic is a humbling experience.

At first, he was worried he would be an inadequate teacher for her. All of his knowledge of Cloudhymn magic are fragmented bits of memories. If Dan Heng can describe the sensation, it's like a barrier between them with only whispers of words echoing in his ear.

While Dan Heng still had his reservations about his heritage, he cannot deny Bailu request to be her teacher.

Thankfully, today lesson only required two things: a spacious area to move in and a pair of practice spears (one adult-size and one child-size).

Never mind the details how Bailu convinced him to train her in using a spear.

"...That's how I usually fight in combat." Dan Heng informs her after another demonstration of his spear-play against a training dummy.

"I don't think I'm qualified enough to teach you Cloudlancer arts. But, we'll cross that bridge when we get there. For now, I can help you with the basics, Bailu." A twirl of his spear, he shifts into a stance and holds his spear. Steel-blue eyes looks at Bailu with a small smile, "Well then, can you try to follow what I do?"

#jade answers (a ask) #traincarsandstars #the guard of the express (dan heng) #cold dragon young (general/casual) #It's either magic or spear and the spear was chosen #I think Dan Heng wouldn't mind looking after her whenever she wants to swing a sword around #but he is no swordsmen #he is a spearman #But also he is super understanding if Bailu feels that a spear doesn't suit her in the end #He will still help her with cloudhymn magic in exchange for medical knowledge. :333 #hmmm #this would be interesting to think about Dan Heng and his thoughts about his combat style

|| 🤔 You know, thinking harder on it- I am curious to what the other High Elders are like and Dan Feng opinion of them during his era. But in present time they most likely had reincarnated as well but continued to maintain their power if any.

I remember reading some info of the other High Elders during Dan Feng time. Also wonder what they think about Dan Heng and Bailu (most likely Bailu since she is the next Luofu High Elder), but since the Sedition I imagine the Luofu is seem favorably and more likely the weakest link.

||Confirmed: Dan Feng best features are his eyes and they're correct.

#jadecoocoo (mun rambles) #points at b.ade character story mentioning DH/DF eyes being recognizable #points at animated short where he has very pretty glowing eyes #also me thinks about his eyes glowing from rage or summoning his powers #also they glow faintly in the dark #now I think about how his hair blue highlights can glow too #as if his horns and scales and tail do not glow already but it is very soft and dim almost not noticeable #not the horns tho #horns glowy #by extension so does dh as well

"Our journey began a year ago, but it feels like yesterday we just met. So much has happened after you joined us. We traveled together, shared meals and stories, and we fought side-by-side against adversaries beyond us. The year has ended, but our adventures are not over yet. This is but a new chapter in our long trailblazing journey together."

"Well? Why are you idling about for? We're waiting for you."

Dan Feng/Dan Heng and the Aeons (1)

Note: This is all HC of what I think their opinions regarding the Aeons of Long, Lan, and Yaoshi until otherwise revealed.

"The Vidydhara, as a whole, do not forget our origins. The hatchlings of the present are not as devout as their seniors, but we cannot forget. Long existence is like a code etched deeply into our souls- A cycle we cannot escape from. Their gift...is both a blessing and a curse." -Dan Feng.

In general, Dan Feng respects Long and understands their importance to the Vidyadhara as a whole. As High Elder, he is required to partake in committees discussing his clan celebrations and give the final word where the planning is directed. In any important rituals, the leading role naturally falls to the High Elder to make sure it goes off without a hitch. Otherwise, in private, Dan Feng very little practices his faith. He holds Long, their Creator close to his heart. But, not so close he considers himself a devout worshipper compared to the other Vidyadhara. However, with the ongoing problem of the Vidyadhara species in slow decline and his personal issues- Dan Feng can't help resent Long just a little bit. After all, their blessing is starting to become more of a curse at this point. But how can he, a mortal, judge an Aeon? Not just any Aeon, but the Aeon of Permanence who given birth to the Vidyadhara. To reject Long, even deceased, is considered blasphemy.

"I do not share the Vidyadhara faith in Long. The reason...Well, I'm sure you understand why by now. Unfortunately, I am that man reincarnation. As long as I hold this power, my encounters with the Vidyadhara will not end here." -Dan Heng

Dan Heng has no love or hate towards Long. He acknowledges their existence, their importance to the Vidyadhara, and their relevance to him. He does not love Long, because he does not worship them- respect them, yes. He does not hate Long, because the ones who hurt him are their children. Besides, what reason does he have to hate an Aeon who ihas long passed away? Despite the Preceptors best efforts to educate him, Dan Heng obviously does not practice their faith in Long. If he must, it will be after the events in Xianzhou Luofu where he's learning more about their culture including the Vidyadhara. Something he never got to do during his imprisonment. Everything he learns and research will go into the databank. But also, it's helping Dan Heng understand more about a place he never saw as a home. Slowly, it may also help him gain a deeper understanding of his past incarnations knowledge and Long.

"The Reignbow Arbiter, unless summoned, has no reason to appear before us. We are their warriors, raising our weapons, and vowed to eliminate every last one of Yaoshi abominations. Yet, what honor can be gained for losing your life in this eternal war?" -Dan Feng

While Dan Feng is closer to Long than Lan, he respects them no less. The Reignbow Arbiter eternal pursuit against Yaoshi inspired the Xianzhou to take arms and follow them. Their beliefs aligned with Lan determination to eliminate the Abominations of Yaoshi and that hasn't changed even in the present.

Dan Feng is the High Elder of the Vidyadhara. Naturally, his first priority are his clan and the Xianzhou natives second. There are times when it is difficult to make a decision: to find a compromise. Because he is not only Vidyadhara, but he is also a soldier who spoke his vows to the Hunt as many others had done. The war he joins and fight is for the sake of his people AND the Xianzhou.

Is it conflicting when he follows Long and Lan? The simple answer is no, because there is no point in trying to understand what the Aeons are thinking (especially since Long has long passed.)

Dan Feng knows his priorities. It's in the present where his people rely on him for safety and guidance. It's where his friends/families, and his lovers (or fiances/spouse) matter the most to him.

He is the High Elder of the Vidyadhara Luofu, a member of the HCQ, a friend to a selected few, and...a lover to the most amazing people (Yingxing and Jing Yuan) in his life.

Dan Feng is never described as a person with feelings. But his heart, his human bleeds, seeing the loss in the endless war against the Abundance.

That's why he can never understand why so many see it as an honor to die fightning for their homeland. Not when they still have people waiting for them to return home.

And a part of him that he kept locked away resents Lan [Aeons] for this.

But again, Aeons are beyond mortal understanding. What does his opinion matter?

"Before I met Himeko, I was a wanderer. I followed the Hunt, because I felt like I was required to in order to redeem myself. Wherever I went, battles follow and I had to fight to survive. If an abomination of Abundance appeared...I felt compelled to fight and eliminate them. " -Dan Heng

Initially, Dan Heng believed if he followed the path of the The Hunt, then it would distance himself further away from Dan Feng. Not only that, but it would enforce his identity as "Dan Heng". The crimes of his past self had committed should've been absolved after he reincarnated. Yet, it didn't matter in the end as Dan Heng is punished for his past incarnation crimes. As for his opinion of Lan, Dan Heng will admit he is biased. He knows the consequences for seeking immortality; a monster. He agrees with Lan end goal- to kill Yaoshi. By extension, he also agrees with the Xianzhou cause as well. Dan Heng respects Lan and their ideals, but he does not walk the same path as their followers do. Because Dan Heng is an exile, marked as a criminal for a sin his past incarnation had done. But that's alright, because Dan Heng found his place in the universe as a Nameless on the Astral Express.

"Do not heed the words of Yaoshi worshippers. The Plague Authors mercy is a curse in disguise of a blessing. Their "love" is sweet on the tongue, but they're vile. A disease festering in your core. A parasite slowly eating away your life and sanity as your body rots." -Dan Feng

Dan Feng absolutely abhors Yaoshi, but more than that he hates himself for resorting to use a flesh of an Emanator of Abundance. But he believed at the time he was doing the right thing for the right cause. In the aftermath, within his prison, he feels only regrets and defeat...

"I do not agree with the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus. There's a reason why Yaoshi existence does more harm than good. They bring life, but they also sow discord and suffering. Dan Feng knew that, so why did he...?" -Dan Heng

Dan Heng is absolutely confused why his past incarnation committed one of the Unpardonable Sins. He abhors Yaoshi, any of their children are dead on sight.
