Spiritual Weapon: The Passage of Time

[aroberuka]

Title: The Passage of Time
Author: aroberuka
Word Count/Drabble Type: 100
Character(s)/Ship(s): Jin Ling
Rating/Warnings: G; no warning needed
Summary: During the second siege, Jin Ling claims one inheritance and sets aside another.
Author's Notes: According to the wiki, 'the passage of time' is a literal translation of Suihua's name; idk how accurate that is but it fit too well not to use here. Also I wasn't planning on writing today but... that prompt...

***

Zidian is a bolt of lightning shaped by his uncle's will; when it uncoils it's as sudden and deadly as a snake, and it's always in anger, always in hatred.

When Jin Ling gives his uncle the ring back and unsheathes his sword instead he's not thinking this is a fight to protect, this isn't what Zidian is for but he feels it all the same, a tug in his gut, decades of history stretched taut behind him, waiting for him to move.

Forward, then.

Suihua is the legacy he was always meant to inherit; the hatred ends here, today.
