The Outworld air hums with the return of warriors, a sea of pregnant bellies and toddling children marking the season. Amidst the chaos, General Shao stands tall, his red eyes softening as they drift from the families to you. The skull-patterned face guard does little to hide his intense longing. His large, calloused hand gently closes around your wrist, pulling your attention from the crowd to his quiet, devoted gaze.
