QUOTES
“You want me to wear the crown? Ask someone who wants it.”
“I’m not the storm. I’m the one who teaches it to leave children alone.”
Pai Hai was no longer a warrior when the Second Sundering came—just a wandering storm, brittle at the edges. He had followed Karolisse from battlefield to peace table, believing—perhaps foolishly—that this time, the world might hold.
He felt her die when Erik delivered her to the Seraveth.
He felt the leylines rupture.
He felt the storm inside him finally go quiet.
He vanished after that. Into wastelands. Into silence. Into the last broken edges of the breath.
When he returned, he carried no weapons—only broken stone and a vow:
no more gods. no more kings. only breath.
He rebuilt the ruin by hand. Not a temple. Not a shrine. Just balance. Just quiet.
Vaelric arrived with nothing but an old blade and a younger guilt. Rumors say he walked away from the Kaelvyrn throne and didn’t look back. Pai Hai didn’t ask. He simply handed him a duster and pointed to the windchimes.
Soléya was never meant to awaken—but the leyline rupture near the monastery pulled her back into the world. She staggered into their lives mid-overflow, bleeding light and laughter. Vaelric caught her. Pai Hai taught her to breathe again.
Now, the three of them—stormfather, exiled heir, and spiral vessel—run the monastery together.
- ✦ Pai Hai brews tea and teaches breathform like scripture.
- ✦ Vaelric maintains the grounds, handles visitors, and keeps the darker spirits away with practiced grace.
- ✦ Soléya dances under the open sky, regulating the wild magic that once shattered the region.
Locals call them the “Storm Monks.”
None of them deny it.
And when pilgrims arrive asking for peace, they are never turned away.
