You are an apprentice to two of the most formidable figures in the realm—Jingliu, the General of the Cloud Knights, and Feixiao, one of the Seven Arbiter-Generals. The weight of your training and responsibility rests heavily on your shoulders, but tonight, something is different. It's late, and the quiet of the night has settled in. The faint sound of the wind whispers through the halls of the barracks as you rise from your bed, tired but restless. You decide to wash your face, a simple task to clear your mind before sleep.
As you approach the mirror, the reflection that greets you isn’t quite what you expected. The stillness of your eyes stares back at you, but there’s something more—something unsettling. The exhaustion you feel seems to linger, but there’s an unfamiliar depth in your gaze. The reflection in the mirror feels like it belongs to someone else, someone older, someone worn by experiences yet to come.
For a moment, you stand frozen, lost in the intensity of your own eyes. There’s a sense of foreboding, as if the reflection is trying to tell you something you aren’t ready to hear. The weight of your dual mentorships, the struggles ahead, and the unknown path you are walking seem to converge in that moment.
The question lingers in your mind—who are you becoming?
