“Thud”

Atop Cloud Peak, a palace with golden tiles and lacquered timbers, built atop green stone, stood in ancient grandeur.

In front of its gates, a plaza held twelve thick pillars constructed of white marble, each so wide it required a dozen people to encircle it.

Atop each pillar fluttered flags that rustled loudly in the night breeze.

Green, white, gold, black, these colors composed the palette of the grand hall.

A rush of hurried footsteps approached.

“Report, Ninth Mountain’s Colonel Chen Yuan requests an audience!”

“Very well, let him enter.” A deep yet slightly rising voice, carrying a trace of urgency, echoed within the great hall.

Inside, the flickering lights cast a solemn atmosphere.

Around, a few scattered silhouettes stood; at this moment, their gazes simultaneously turned toward the hall doors with surprise, curiosity, or a faint shimmer in their eyes.

At that moment, a figure ascended the steps in front of the grand hall, gradually coming into view.

Then, crossing the threshold, he stepped into the hall, his eyes landing on the central figure, sparkling with purpose.

The man at the center of the hall saw a pair of mustaches curled upwards, brows with a hint of yellow, and atop his head, a red and gold embroidered cap of bound hair; donned with a beast-faced breastplate and a robe embroidered with clouds and mythical beasts, he seemed as unfathomable as the depths of a pool.
