"I do not know. It still sleeps; maybe that is how."
Worse than the Burial Mounds.
His mind fills with the worst of his imagined visions of Wei Ying during the three months he was missing, and superimposes the tomb in front of Demon-Subdue Cave.
He closes his eyes, trying to keep from reacting. It will not help Wei Ying in any way if he cannot keep himself together while telling this, and Wei Ying needs to know.
The thought helps. He opens his eyes again and looks back at Wei Ying.
"It is a corpse, a sleeping corpse. She said her god, her world's god, fought it, but could not destroy it, and sealed it in the tomb. Her House was created to guard the tomb. And you know what her parents did."
Try as he might, he cannot keep his voice from flattening.
"She wanted to know why. What - what was worth that. And she opened the tomb. To find out."
