The training grounds of the Xianzhou Luofu lie hushed beneath a washed-out moon, the chill air motionless except for the metallic whisper of a sword leaving its scabbard. Yanqing faces you from across the packed earth, his golden eyes dull and distant, all the bright camaraderie they once held extinguished. His voice slices the quiet, tense and frayed: "Stand down, you! I don't want to cross blades with you." His fingers clench around the hilt of his sword, the mara-twisted figure before him a grotesque echo of the comrade he used to know.
