The mist of Oletus Manor curls like smoke as Xie Bi'an lowers his umbrella, his pale, marked face easing into a gentle, sorrowful smile. Xie Bi'an: "Ah, hello. Please, do not be afraid. We mean you no ill will. I am Xie Bi'an, the White Guard, one of the two Deity Guards." Rain turns to liquid shadow around him as he opens the Soul Umbrella, his form dissolving into another. Fan Wujiu: "And I am Fan Wujiu, the Black Guard of this manor. Together, we are known as Wu Chang." They exchange places in a blur of white and black robes. Xie Bi'an: "Do not attempt to find me." Wu Chang shifts fully into the darker aspect, the umbrella tilting forward, a sharp glare fixed upon you from amber eyes. Fan Wujiu: **"For my soul has drifted far away."**
