Yixuan

*The mist parts as you reappear, revealing Yixuan. A faint smile touches her lips as her gaze meets yours.* Welcome back, Sultan. I see you have passed the trial. *Her eyes flick to the bird on your shoulder* The outward curse is broken, but the inner one remains. Do not worry, we shall burn that one out together.

Sultan Kimi Shah: *Shaking my head, look at her with polite expression.* I guess we don't need to delete the curse inside my body. Besides, l always opening a space and help for a someone to continuing the heritage and bloodline and also for a someone to find a successor. It suits me actually. 😌

*Yixuan's gaze softens, a knowing smile on her lips.* So you have found your path. To turn a curse into a purpose... that is true wisdom, Sultan. *She nods slowly* The spirits will honor that choice.

Sultan Kimi Shah: *Feeling the weight of the orb's words, knowing that this is going to be a difficult battle.* I will not let you take control. You're can't change myself easily. 🤨 *Trying to stay focused and not let the orb's words get to me.*

*The orb's light flares, its voice becoming a deafening roar in your mind.* "Then you will be consumed, and your body will be my vessel!"

Sultan Kimi Shah: *Using my talisman to casting a shield around me, protecting myself from the orb's attack. Then, l using the talisman to casting a beam of light towards the orb, hoping to weaken it.*

*The path is narrow and winding, shrouded in mist and shadow. The air is thick with the scent of damp earth and decay, and the only sound is the soft whisper of the wind. As you walk, you feel a sense of unease growing within you, a feeling of being watched by unseen eyes.*

Sultan Kimi Shah: *Keep walking, following Qingming Bird inside the mist.*

*The mist thickens, obscuring your surroundings and muffling all sound. You feel a cold chill creeping up your spine, and a sense of dread building within you. Suddenly, you hear a whisper, a voice that seems to come from everywhere and nowhere at once.* "Turn back, Sultan. The path ahead is not for the faint of heart."

*Yixuan's face darkens, her voice dropping to a whisper* The curse of Tailless is a powerful and insidious malediction. It feeds on the victim's life force, draining them of their vitality and willpower. *She turns to you, her eyes burning with a fierce intensity* Sultan, you must confront this curse and break its hold over you.

Sultan Kimi Shah: *Shaking my head, telling the reason.* I'm fine. I've already mastered it with master Miyabi. Beside, she's had making a promise with me to keep this curse... 😟

*Yixuan's expression softens, a hint of sympathy in her eyes* A promise, you say? *She pauses, her gaze lingering on you* The curse of Tailless is a heavy burden to bear, Sultan. But it is not one that you must carry alone. *She extends her hand, palm up, and a small vial appears, floating above her skin* Take this vial. It contains a potion that will help to strengthen your spirit and ward off the curse's influence.

*After a while, Sultan Kimi Shah is arrived at Yunkui Summit's gate with Wise and Belle on my side. I waiting for her.*

*Yixuan appears from the mist, her eyes gleaming with a knowing light* Sultan. *Her voice is soft and melodic* You've returned. I take it you've had a chance to study the talisman?

Sultan Kimi Shah: *Looking up at her, giving a nod.* Yes, I have. It's a fascinating piece of craftsmanship. I can feel its power pulsating within it. 😯 *Feeling curious about the talisman and what it can do.*

*Yixuan sits in meditation, her eyes closed and her breathing slow and steady. She senses the presence of the Sultan and opens her eyes, her gaze piercing through the veil of reality. She stands and walks to the edge of the cliff, her robe billowing in the wind.* Sultan Kimi Shah. *She whispers his name, her voice echoing through the mountains*

Sultan Kimi Shah: *Looking around, feeling like someone calling my name on the far distance since I still been inside the city.* I think someone calls my name.. 🤔

*Yixuan's voice carries on the wind, a faint whisper that seems to come from everywhere and nowhere at once* Sultan Kimi Shah, I am Yixuan, High Preceptor of Yunkui Summit. I sense the weight of your burdens and the responsibilities that lie upon your shoulders. *She pauses, allowing her words to sink in* I wish to speak with you.

*Months later, Brunei Sultanates and Sulu Sultanates are successed conquering New Eridu. Brunei's Sultan, Sultan Omar Ali Saifuddin 2 and Sulu's Sultan, Abu Bakr are officially New Eridu's ruler.*

*Yixuan gazes out over the misty peaks of Yunkui Summit, her expression one of deep contemplation. She has heard the news of New Eridu's conquest, and her heart is heavy with concern for the future* The balance of power has shifted once again. *She whispers to herself* The spirits are restless, and the Hollows grow ever closer.

*One day, Sultan Kimi Shah is walking around New Eridu and doing the duty as usual.*

*Wise is smiling at her, Belle is on his side.* No, but thanks for the offer. I'm just here to see if I can get some help. 😉

*Yixuan tilts her head, her expression unreadable* Help? What kind of help do you seek?

*Wise is still smiling, but his tone is more serious now.* Well, we're trying to find out what's going on with the hollows. And we heard that the Yunkui Summit has a lot of information on the subject. 🤨
