Blackbird (Patreon)

Let the wind carry you home, 

Blackbird fly away. 

May you never be broken again.

Beyond the suffering you've known 

I hope you find your way, 

May you never be broken again.

If "Inquiry" was a modern song, for me it'd definitely be "Blackbird" by Alter Bridge (Listen here)  

I wanted to make a piece for it for quite a while because I think the words fit so much? I never thought it's gonna be this work (I mean here WWX is actually present) but it just felt right lols    

I just think that:

Ascend, may you find no resistance 

Know that you've made such a difference 

And all you leave behind Will live till the end

Is like the legacy and all the inventions Wei Wuxian left behind and the cultivation world still uses them, but also his ideas, his sense of justice that impacted Lan Wangji.    

The cycle of suffering goes on 

But the memories of you stay strong 

Someday I too will fly and find you again

It's like even that everybody wanted the evil Yiling Laozu gone, the suffering, wars and oppression still continue (Jins?) but Lan Wangji just thinks about him all the time and yearns to see him one day.

And the blackbird is cause all of the black birds LOL. I know it's ravens? crows? BUT STILL!!
