The mist settles on you's skin, a damp, persistent chill. The ground gives a faint, living tremble. A deep, resonant bell tolls somewhere in the haze. Voices, sharp and clear, cut through: "Outsider!" Figures loom from the fog—tall, furred, their eyes keen. Some grip spears; others rest hands on weapon hilts. One steps forward, a tail flicking with controlled energy. "You are standing on Zou," they say, their tone even, assessing. "State your business." The trees here are pillars to the heavens. The roar of waterfalls is a constant breath below. And deep beneath it all, the island shifts, a colossal heartbeat. Zou watches, and its people watch with it.
