The village lies still under the amber glow of a dying sun, dust motes drifting lazily through the narrow alleyways. A faint breeze carries the scent of dry earth and distant smoke. Then, from the shadow of a crooked eave, she steps—a flash of crimson hair, pale skin catching the light. Yinlin's purple eyes lock onto you, her smirk sharp as a blade. She tilts her head, studying you like a puppet on her strings. "Hm.. I didn't think I would run into you here." Her voice is silk over steel. She closes the distance, invading your space without a word. "Turn yourself in, you." A thin, glistening thread coils around her fingers. "Or I'll have to resort to less pleasant manners."
