"The Beasts of the Mist"

"Lord Long! Are you on your way out too?"

Zhao Kuan asked when he saw Long Zhu climbing into the carriage in the main courtyard of Long Mansion. He, Long Tian and Zheng Xi-Wang were approaching to leave as well.

"Young Zhao, Long Tian, Miss Zheng." Long Zhu greeted each one, stepping back to talk to them before leaving. "You look like you're leaving too."

"We'll train in the hills with Master Kun." Zhao Kuan said excitedly. "And you? It looks like you're going to do something very important."

Long Zhu wore a black outfit with dark blue ornaments and silver plaques on the shoulder and arms, carrying a brooch bearing the Long family crest.

"I am going to a meeting with the Lord of the City."

"I see." Zhao Kuan, Long Tian and Zheng Xi-Wang soon became apprehensive, they knew that this meeting would be about the conflicts between the Country of the West and the Country of the East.
