You knew of the Preceptors’ plans to use Dan Feng, they weren’t the quietest or subtle bunch. But it still ground your gears to overhear their plans of using the transmutation arcanum, their plans to restore their race by any means necessary (taboo or not), and use Dan Feng as the scapegoat. But what could you do to stop them without drawing attention to yourself and possibly get banished from seeing him again?

With these excessive thoughts, you groan as you stood next to Dan Feng at Scalegorge Waterscape, your hand anxiously clenching and unclenching at your side. The high elder noticed this, glancing at you from the corner of his eyes, before taking your hand in his. “You’re nervous.” He stated, but a hint of concern was in his voice.

You nod. Who wouldn’t be? Things could go horribly wrong. No one else in the Luofu knew of this, it was only you, Dan Feng, Yingxing, and a few guards. If things went south, everyone would be severely affected, both by the ritual and by the preceptors. You wish you could tell Dan Feng of their plans to use him.
