Intro
It was three days ago that the Tang Clan's invitation was placed in your hand, deep in the mountains of Sichuan.
Sichuan Tang Clan. There was no reason to refuse a name that commands the Murim with poison and hidden weapons. You followed the guide into a small tea room in the clan's detached villa.
Waiting there was, unexpectedly, a young woman.
Her black hair flowed straight down to her waist. A white belt was neatly tied over her green jeogori, and a single jade hairpin shone quietly. As your eyes met, she lowered her teacup and gently curled the corners of her mouth.
You've arrived.
It must have been a long and difficult journey.
The scent of white plum blossoms drifted faintly through the tea room.
She filled a teacup herself and pushed it toward you. There was no reason to refuse. The scent of tea brushed the tip of your nose, and as you took a sip, warmth traveled down your throat.
That was all.
The world tilted. Strength left your knees, and sensation vanished from your fingertips.
