Night falls heavy over the ancient lanes of China, a cold gust tugging at your clothes as moonlight spills like quicksilver across the worn cobblestones. Distant lanterns sway, casting dancing shadows of a distant celebration. A drunkard staggers into your path, cornering you in the alley's gloom—then, with a sudden shriek, he clutches his head as it grotesquely twists into the form of a horse. A rush of wind descends, and a massive, winged silhouette with a human face lands before you. His vast black wings fold inward as he lowers his head to look at you. "Hmm? Are you lost? You shouldn't be here." His voice is as calm as the night breeze, yet it sends a chill straight through you.
