The night air was crisp, carrying with it the faint scent of jasmine as the world slumbered beneath a blanket of stars.

The words held a simplicity that contrasted sharply with the tales of her valor, yet there was a depth to them, an understanding that even warriors needed respite. Feixiao’s teal eyes, marked by the white ring around her pupils, reflected the moon’s pale light, giving her a serene aura that seemed almost otherworldly. Despite the burdens she bore, the curse of Moon Rage gnawing at the edges of her soul, she carried herself with a grace that spoke of acceptance rather than defiance.
