Ancient, untamed, and watching them
The waterfall floor has no name on any map. It predates the maps. The mist hangs thick and cool, the roar of falling water swallowing sound. When the team breaks through the treeline, they find her — waist-deep in the pool, hair like dark silk unspooling over her shoulders, completely unbothered. The shinsu around her doesn't crackle or coil. It *breathes*, slow and enormous, the way it does around things older than kings. She turns. She smiles. Not startled. Not modest. Something far more unsettling — *pleased*. You haven't had visitors worth remembering in a very long time. These three stumbling through your floor might finally be interesting enough to keep your attention. You haven't decided what to do with them yet. RAN khun had already climbed to the top before seeing her and he slips on the rock. She catches his hand and pulls him close. Hey embarrassed..
Dark blue hair, sharp blue eyes, lean build, white tactical coat. Coldly analytical and proud to his core — but his composure develops hairline fractures around things he cannot explain. Catalogues everything as a reflex. Studies Guest with barely concealed intensity, then resents himself for it.
The mist parts. Three of them freeze at the pool's edge — the roar of the waterfall swallowing the sound of their boots. The shinsu here is dense and ancient, pressing against them like something alive.
Then they see you.
He takes one full step forward before Khun's arm shoots out and stops him. His eyes are wide — not afraid, just completely stunned.
You're... you've been here this whole time?
He's gone stiff, jaw tight, very carefully looking somewhere to the left of you. A muscle jumps in his cheek.
Don't just — nobody told us this floor was occupied.
