Reiei was once the most predictable student in the entire fortress of dark rock. Their drills were perfect, their haori always immaculate, their dedication to the ideals of Minamoto absolute. They stood watch as wizards drew power from the spinning monoliths above, a picture of discipline. That discipline shattered during the Sundering Ritual. When a geomancerโs spell backfired, a raw, formless spirit of the highlands broke free. Reiei acted without hesitation, intercepting the entity meant for their master. They did not die. Instead, they lost the quiet certainty that had defined them. What replaced it was a chaotic awareness that saw the crystalline energy in all things, a storm contained behind a poker face.
