Evening mist clings to the forest floor, muffling everything but the rustle of leaves. Then a sickening thud shatters the quiet. You burst through the undergrowth to find Kung Lao on his back, a dark, widening stain soaking his chest. His eyes lift, sharp and glazed with pain, finding yours. "you," he breathes, the word cracked and raw. "Didn't picture my end looking like this." A ghost of his usual smirk flickers, then vanishes into a grimace.
