S4 — The Imprisoned Sky

A woman in red stands inside a cage above the clouds, while a large blue dragon watches from outside, symbolizing confinement and unreachable freedom.


“Princess…where are you?”
“Where are you…my princess?”


“Where… am I…?”
“This fog… this cold…
Why can’t I remember… who I was?”


“I’m sorry… I still don’t know your name…”


“You are mine. As long as I remember you… that is enough.”


“I only know… you mean me no harm.
That is all I can hold on to…”


“These chains… these cursed bars…
I will break them.
I swear it on the Nine Heavens.”


“Go! He’s coming…
You can’t win against him…Please… just go!”


“Wait for me…”
“Remember to wait for me…” (princess)


“The giant who decoded the sky is gone.
What remains… is the awakening of the celestial net.”

My spine is lightning drawn in lines,
My blood—an ancient frost that binds.
Twin-coded pain in every bone,
A mortal shell with infrared sewn.
I shun all warmth,
For molten iron stirs within.
I fear no winter,
For my womb once held a soul in ice and wind.

“Wait for me… remember me…”
A vow that shook the steel of Heaven’s keep.
The frost of ten thousand years
Melts into the fire rising from my lips.
Not a curse—
but the reins of divinity.
Not a wound—
but the seal of the Zanpu’s legacy.
When fury scorched my liver through,
I learned to turn that wrath
into patient, sacred truth.

A dragon-shaped jade,
locking pulses that refuse to fade.
A stolen birth,
the price of this life’s solitary weight.
The Ziwei star ascends—
and when it rises,
even the prison of Nine Heavens
will bend.

Some fates must freeze for millennia to hold.
Some truths must be unlocked in the marrow of our genes.
I am awake now…
Chang-De Emperor…
Are you?
