Quoted By:
Ming's movements are fluid, graceful. Every step is precise, every bend of the knee, every slash of the blade, every flap of the fan was delicate but made with purpose. Had this been a student practicing their form, someone under your tutelage, you would have no words that could measure up to the praise you would feel. This was not simply a ritual being preformed. This was an art on display. But it was not the fluidity of movement or it's precision that made your heart swell. No, these were all simply accents to the true source of your feelings. What you saw, what truly moved you, was what this all represented. Here was a girl, so very far from home, with no training beyond the vaguest notion of what to do putting her life on the line for an entire city.
She could have run away. She could had simply left after all that had happened in the Library. With nothing but goodwill and the urge to do good she stuck around. Perhaps her methods were questionable at the start but now you can see what everyone spoke about. The grace in her steps as if the very winds flowed through her. The determination on her face that betrayed no fear and inspired courage. The tears in her eyes that showed mercy. Here was not the girl who cried at her own helplessness. Before you stood the Exarch of the Sacred Library...and she was going to deliver her people from evil.
>What do you do?
>Focus your Chi on Ming. Try and feel what she feels. Understand what she is going through. You cannot bring yourself to interfere in Ming's ritual. Not because you fear the results but because you respect her too much to take this away from her.
>Take your eyes off of Ming and keep an eye on the seals. You might not be able to help with the ritual but you can make sure the security is tight. You have no doubt that Xin and Tigress have more seals ready incase things go wrong or one is damaged.
>Try and sense something out of the void of the soul mass. Perhaps it might give you more information on the attack on the Library. You're not sure what you'll see though. You've never tried to peer into someone who was actively resisting and hostile towards you.
>Write in.
