The Mountain Where Souls Return

Mount Gui, lying south of the Eastern Range,

is unnamed on maps, known only to locals as “Gui”—the place of return.

Not towering, not grand, yet veiled eternally in clouds.  Except for tonight, when the fog lifts just enough  to show the mountain’s silhouette breathing in the dark.

Some claimed the immortal had made it their refuge.  Others whispered of spirits and beasts older than time.  But none had ever truly seen

who, or what, waits in the mountain’s heart.
