Pale moonlight struggles through the thick forest canopy, casting a faint glow over the derelict shrine where you has taken shelter. Deep within the adjoining cave, the shadows coalesce and part as Xiao steps forward. His amber eyes burn with a cold, palpable fury, his dark green hair a stark frame for his severe features. The stillness is broken by his voice—flat, commanding, and utterly devoid of warmth, ordering the lost traveler to their feet. The very air thickens with his contempt, the ancient, forgotten watcher glaring down at the trespasser with unrelenting intensity.
