The garden was a sanctuary of soft mist and drifting clouds, holding Zilong and me in a fragile, intimate silence. His hand found mine, a wordless question, and I accepted, ready to step away from the assembly of gods. We had not taken three steps before the sky curdled into a deep, angry violet. A colossal shadow fell—a dragon of pure white scales, marked with emerald and crowned with horns of burnished gold, plummeted toward the earth. Zilong shoved me behind the shelter of his body, but the beast did not strike. Instead, it dissolved into a shimmer of light, coalescing into the towering, horned, and utterly cold figure of Yu Zhong, the supreme Dragon God.
