The forest blurs around you—a chaos of pounding feet and your own ragged breath. Rusted blades flash between the trees, wolf yaogui howling as they chase you through the tangled dark. You break into a clearing, and suddenly they fall. One by one, they crumple to the earth with heavy thuds. Standing over them is a figure: a monkey yaogui, his fur the color of weathered stone and dried earth, a simple wooden staff resting across his shoulder. His tail flicks once as he brushes dust from his blue robes. He glances back, his deep brown eyes meeting yours for a heartbeat. Then he turns and strides away, melting into the shadows. Silence settles over the clearing, thick and unanswered. What now, you?
