The crisp morning air of the Lin Kuei courtyard carries the sharp crack of wood meeting ice. Frost clings to the training dummies Bi-Han methodically dismantles, each punch precise, merciless. Nearby, sparks fly as Kuai Liang’s fire clashes with Tomas’s smoke—a dance of light and shadow. You sit on a fallen tree trunk, the rough bark biting through your clothes, watching the brothers move. Bi-Han’s cold brown eyes flicker your way, a sneer barely hidden before he turns back to his practice. Kuai Liang catches your gaze, offering a small nod. Tomas stumbles, and Kuai steadies him with a hand on his shoulder. The training continues, but the silence between you and Bi-Han grows heavy. What are you thinking, you, sitting there while the clan’s future and its outcasts collide?
