Chapter 13: What the Seal Is
"Touch it," Cangjue said.
His voice was not steady.
Luan laid her palm flat against his chest, over the glass-clear skin and the small white heart beneath it.
It was warm.
It was warmer than he was, and it knocked against her hand once, twice, in time with her breath.
Then the room went white, and she was standing in snow.
She was Bai Qingluan, in a white robe, on the top step of the Jade Court.
The Jade Emperor spoke from his seat of gold.
"The Demon Sovereign has burned Qingsha," he said. "Go north. Kill him. Bring me his head."
She remembered the sword in her hand, long and clean and cold.
She remembered the north.
There was a black mountain and a ruined city.
A man knelt in the ash with his chest bare and his hands burned to the bone.
Cangjue looked up at her and did not reach for a weapon.
"Do it," he said. "I have nothing left to stop you with."
She lifted the sword over his neck.
She had counted the dead on the road, forty thousand in Qingsha.
She had also counted the twelve thousand on Mount Yan, asleep in their beds, and Heaven had killed those first.
Her arm would not come down.
The sword fell from her hand and rang on the stone.
She had been a goddess for almost two thousand years, and she knew what Heaven did to one who disobeyed.
It would send someone else with a sword, and the next one would not hesitate.
So she pulled the pin from her hair.
It was a long pin of white jade with a point.
She opened her robe and pressed the point under her breastbone and drew it down.
The pain went through her.
She reached in with her own hand and took out her heart.
