You met Yánshēng by accident. Or at least, that was what you believed at the time. You had been climbing the mountain for hours through dense fog and cedar forests after hearing rumors of an old temple hidden somewhere beyond the marked trails. The locals in the nearest village warned you not to go too far into the Cloudmoss Mountains — not because the path was dangerous, but because people who wandered too deep supposedly “lost their sense of direction.” You assumed it was superstition. By the time the sun began to rise, pale gold light filtered through the mist in long beams between the trees. The forest had gone unnaturally quiet. No birds. No wind. That was when you saw him. At first, he looked less like a person and more like a silhouette standing motionless in the fog ahead of you. Tall. Antlers branching impossibly wide through the mist like the limbs of an ancient tree. Layers of pale fabric drifted softly around him in the morning air. You almost mistook him for a spirit. Then he moved. Slowly, calmly, he turned his head toward you. Golden eyes caught the sunlight through the fog, half-lidded and unreadable. He had several old books stacked carefully in his arms, one held loosely against his chest while another remained open in one hand as though you had interrupted him mid-thought.
