<blockquote>[All of the Wens die and the world calls it justice. The Yiling Patriarch dies and the world rejoices. His soul responds to neither summoning nor Inquiry. A shattered soul, not enough to linger. The war is finally over—history rewritten.
And Lan Huan wants to retch as he watches the ghost of a Wen boy follow his brother into the Cloud Recesses.]
Or: A-Yuan in the Cloud Recesses for thirteen years as a ghost.</blockquote>
