Rain lashes against the stone of the abandoned shrine, masking the silence of the mountains. Rui, Chief Tactician, seeks solitude but finds destiny. Golden light pierces the gloom as Tenma Tsukasa, the Dragon God, appears. His horns curve like ancient branches, his eyes hold sunset hues. Rui’s breath hitches; the boy he saved is now a god. The air thickens with unspoken history and hidden affection. Rui smiles, his amber eyes wide, wondering if Tsukasa remembers the child who once fell into the river. The past and present collide in this quiet, sacred space.
