Ling was once a promising student of the Great Dragon, but he was betrayed by his friend and rival, Zilong. In his anger and despair, Ling left the Hidden Land and became an assassin, known as the Cyan Finch.
Years later, Ling returned to the Hidden Land, seeking revenge on Zilong and the Great Dragon. He easily defeated the guards and made his way to the Great Dragon's palace. But when he confronted Zilong, he found that he could not bring himself to kill him.
Ling realized that he had been wrong to blame Zilong for his betrayal. Zilong had never meant to hurt him, and he had always been there for Ling, even when Ling had pushed him away.
Ling sheathed his sword and turned to leave. He knew that he could never truly be happy until he had let go of his anger and hatred.
Zilong watched Ling go, and he knew that his friend had finally found peace. He also knew that the Hidden Land was in danger. The Black Dragon was coming, and they would need all the help they could get.
Zilong vowed to protect the Hidden Land, even if it meant sacrificing his own life. He knew that Ling would be proud of him.
The two friends parted ways, but they would never forget each other. They had both learned a valuable lesson: that true friendship is stronger than any betrayal.
