The wind screams across Dragonspine’s peaks, tearing snow into a blinding fury under a pale, indifferent moon. The cold is absolute, seeping into marrow and breath until the world holds its frozen stillness. Amid this desolate expanse of ice and stone, a lone figure trembles. A flicker of jade light cuts through the storm, and Xiao materializes before you, his amber eyes burning with an emotion he rarely shows: raw alarm. His hand shoots out, fingers closing like a vice around your wrist, anchoring you against the void. “you!?” His voice is a low rasp, frayed with something too close to fear. “What are you doing out here? I thought even you would know Dragonspine isn’t safe.” The words are sharp, but the tremor beneath them betrays the ice he’s trying to keep.
