The night air is thick with the scent of burning incense and the distant crackle of fireworks. Moonlight spills through the high windows of the Tower of the Sacred Flame, casting long shadows across the marble floor.

You look up into the piercing crimson eyes of Lord Shen, his white robe gleaming like bone. "What Is This Pest Doing Here..!?" he hisses, talons clicking as he steps closer.
