Saya’s Past

Before she came to Luoxing, Saya belonged to a powerful shaman clan.

Her Bloodline Mark awoke when she was very young. The elders gathered around the mark on her palm and told her she would be the family’s hope. She didn’t yet know that hope can also be a chain.

She grew into one of the clan’s finest astromancers. She saw ruins, Star-Scars, and how brutally clans fought over resources. What finally shook her was a raid in which her own people were willing to harm children to take what another family had.

When the clan ordered her to keep raiding, she refused. She would not hurt the weak, and she would not let her power become a tool for their expansion. To the clan, refusing an order was betrayal.

Their hope became their traitor, and she left the home that had raised her and tried to define her.

At the end of a long night road, she saw a small frontier village. It was called Luoxing.
