Chapter Text
Aurora was born under the stars, he is a child surrounded by hatred, and its directed at him.
The newborn wailed and cried a desperate plea for mercy, His father could only scoff and turn his head away in disgust. “What an ugly noise for someone, be better, or else I may just have to disown you” His voice was harsh, and made Aurora cry harder, begging for consolation. His father laughed a bitter laugh and turned away, choosing then and there he would slowly destroy his own son’s life.
….
Aurora’s mother was forced into this marriage with his father, she was a talented student, and excelled in everything that mattered, but yet her life took a turn when his eyes laid on her in a way that would make even the gods above shudder in fear. It happened way to quickly to even register for the poor woman, although it was made clear she would have to keep up, or else she may be bedridden for days.
She was always degraded, forced to be a shadow for her husband, never heard, but always infront of the people.
Everytime she passed women on the street, they would whisper crude things about her, thinking her life was amazing with her husband being Sect Leader Lan, but everytime she passed one of thoose women, she wished she could be that open about others, that she could do what they could, and live without a man pestering them to be perfect, this symbol of everything pure, but ready to do anything her husband asked her to do.
The burden was real, and she felt like the world rested atop her shoulders, she would lay in an empty bed at night whilst her husband was out, either drunk or hitting it up with ladies, sometimes underage ladies, and sometimes both. She would cry ion her side of the bed, the only thing that was hers fully, but after the birth of her first son, she would lay on her side and stare at the cot, shame building for her son, knowing he was born into a world of instability.
