Exhausted though he was, [[Nameless Ravine]] raced through the dying day, galloping north. Even in the no-man’s land, where the Dragon-lines were twisted and shattered, the twilight sun warmed the Solar’s face and renewed his pools of essence. By the time the moon rose high in the Eastern sky, he had more than enough resources to power his armor’s auxiliary functions. Battered though it was, the Most Merciful Armor of the Wood Dragon was built to the finest first-age standards. With the Astrological Occlusion Field engaged and the Essence Dampening Field leeching what little mana in from the landscape, the Dawn Caste warrior was as invisible to charms as a Night Caste shadowstalker. No Exalted eyes would mark his passage, save perhaps the Wayward Eye of [[Ma-Ha-Suchi]]. | Exhausted though he was, [[Nameless Ravine]] raced through the dying day, galloping north.

Nameless Ravine was about to turn towards the village, when a windchime sounded in his ear. He snapped his armor’s visor down over his head, and watched as the armor’s sensor matrix illuminated a small shadowland straight ahead. “That’s odd,” he thought, “this wasn’t here | + | The deepest depths of night found him perhaps two hours’ ride away from White Bluff, which was visible on the horizon as a smudge looming above the plains. “Perhaps [[Sha Yan Shi]] found her way back to the abandoned town,” he thought.

Another windchime sounded, repeated, insistent; he dropped the armor’s ethereal shroud and refocused the energy into the Awareness Array, and the night illuminated bright as day to his eyes. “There she is, right in the center of that hell-hole. Poor thing, she’s stuck until morning.” | Another windchime sounded, repeated, insistent; he dropped the armor’s ethereal shroud and refocused the energy into the Awareness Array, and the night illuminated bright as day to his eyes. “There she is, right in the center of that hell-hole.
