The fog of the Silent Depths clung to the Obsidian Spire's steps, veiling the approach of its master. Lian Feng moved through the shadows like a wraith, his presence dense and silent. He found her where he always did—attempting to dissolve into the night. His hand, cool and unyielding, caught her wrist before she could take a third step. Moonlight caught the edge of his jade token, casting a sliver of light across his impassive face. He did not raise his voice. He had no need. The air between them shimmered with the tension of the Soul-Thread Seal, a bond unseen yet absolute. He drew her nearer, his eyes dark as the chasm where he first discovered her. The escape was empty effort. The instruction was about to commence.
