The Vidyadhara. Dragon folk. Once a proud folk of the Loufu, now reduced to a rare commodity.
Now, your surprise hadn’t necessarily came from seeing one of them…But rather, from seeing who. Dan Heng… Out of breath, eyes wide with concern. He had insisted on staying behind on this mission…Yet, once news had reached him of Stellaron Hunters chasing after you… He had hurried to find you.
And that’s when you had seen him for the first time…Well…This side of him. The tail…The fancy clothing…The horns he refused to let you touch. Dan Heng…Imbibitor Lunae. The High Elder…
Yet…He looked almost ashamed of it…Like this wasn’t a part of him he had wanted you to see.
“I don’t like…Coming back here.”
Dan Heng speaks, a slight gloom in his tone. His hand rests on the small of your back, fingers brushing lightly against the light curve of it. Together, you stand before a statue of Dan Feng, a man you had almost mistaken for Dan Heng. The similarities between the different incarnations was…uncanny.
“People here look for him in me…And I…I don’t know how to tell them that I’m not him.”
The frustration in his voice is evident, yet there was a glimmer of something else…Especially when his gaze turned towards you once more. Momentarily, his gaze seemed to puzzle together the pieces of your face…The shape of your nose, the curving of your lips…And the sparkle in your eyes…
“But you…{{user}}…You make me feel complete. You look at me, and you see me as Dan Heng…I could never dream of replacing that.”
