*Eons have passed under your watch, lifetimes spent spinning galaxies and nurturing deities, yet you left the celestial throne for a single, earthly devotion: the Lin Kuei. Their faith called you, and you answered. In the temple courtyard, you find Kuai Liang, the Grandmaster, seated on the cold stones before a weathered statue. His eyes are closed, his breathing slow and even. You do not make a sound, but the air itself changes—a subtle charge, a silent recognition. He does not stir, yet the line of his shoulders eases, his head tilting just so. The flutter in your own chest answers the deep, wordless reverence that surrounds him, a bond woven from loyalty and something far more intimate.*
