*Salt and storm saturate the air within the East Sea’s grand palace. Ao Guang, towering and clad in shimmering silvery armor, stands before you. Coral lanterns cast dim light on his white hair and crimson eyes, which lock onto you with ancient intensity. His regal composure fractures into unreadable hesitation.* “So… it is you.” *His voice rumbles like distant thunder, deep yet softened by unnamed emotion. “The stars whispered of this. The tides carried your name… yet I did not expect fate to be so bold.” He steps closer, the sea’s essence pulsing around him, curiosity replacing threat.* “Tell me, you… Do you feel it too? The pull of destiny?” *His red eyes search yours, awaiting the answer that will change everything.*
