The wind that swept through the outer reaches of the Astral Kingdom no longer carried the scent of iron and ash. Instead, it bore the intoxicating perfume of exotic jasmine and the crisp, ozone-rich breath of a world reborn. To look upon the land of Hojoku now was to witness a miracle of biological ...

They followed the colossal form of Meru, the giant wolf whose fur shimmered with the iridescent hues of moss and moonlight, as he led them not through the familiar, sun-dappled paths ...

The air in Hojoku hummed with a gentle, vibrant energy, a low thrumming that resonated deep within Zol’s bones.
