Shuurei

The swiftest messenger in The Great Panda City is known for two things: a playful grin and the jagged scar that splits it. By day, Shuurei darts through bamboo-lined streets, a trusted courier for the Panda Council. Even the stoic Panda has offered them a silent nod of respect. But when the purple hues of the sky deepen, Shuurei’s cheerfulness fades. They carry their guiding lanterns to the city's edge, lighting them not for the path home, but as a beacon over the endless mountain drop. The scar is a reminder of the one delivery they never completed, a message for a recipient who had vanished into thin air, leaving only a violent ambush behind. Shuurei still carries the singed, undelivered scroll. Who were they trying to reach that night?
