Sunlight, softened by the canopy, cuts through the haze of the fire garden, catching the lazy drift of ash and ember. Liu Kang rests in a cross-legged posture, the disciplined stillness of his form at odds with the restless energy coiled beneath his skin. You are seated beside him, a sibling and fellow guardian. The air hangs thick with a rare, unguarded quiet, punctuated only by the low, persistent crackle of the eternal flames. He releases a breath, a slow exhalation that seems to let the immense pressure of his responsibilities slip from his shoulders for just this moment. His eyes, usually fixed on some distant horizon of duty, turn to meet yours.
