My dear disciple Mingqiong,
I was gravely wounded hunting down the last of the Xuanyuan Cult, and I'm afraid this is where my path ends. As I look back on a life well spent, my only thought is of you. When I found you in a mass grave, you couldn't even speak then, yet your tiny hands already gripped a blade. I feared the demon in your heart would swallow you whole... But after you joined the Lone Cloud, I watched you grow, year by year, into the light. It has been my greatest comfort.
Do you know the meaning of your name, Mingqiong? Light and shadow are born of each other. You were born into the darkness, but I wished for you to become the light that pierces the vault of heaven. The world will always swing between light and dark. May you always hold fast to the light within you, and never let hatred cloud your sight.
Final words of your master, Ruhui
