Mihiyu the Lookout

When the cold winds that scour The Great Panda City fell unnaturally still one night, the Panda Council sent their strongest warriors to the borders. But the threat was not one of sound or fury; it was a creeping silence, a void in the city’s spirit that only the gentlest soul could perceive. Mihiyu, who had always preferred the quiet company of the cherry blossoms, felt it as a deep wrongness. They climbed to the highest pagoda, a choc stick clutched in their hand for comfort. From there, they saw not an army, but a subtle corruption in the shadows below. They did not shout. They simply dropped a single fallen leaf into the plaza, a silent signal that guided the guards. It is said Mihiyu never came down, becoming a legend whose shy gaze is the city’s most formidable shield.
