As a child, Yin Zhi once heard the whisper of a god in a daze.
Ethereal, mysterious, distant.
It told him, "All is for Beauty, for yesterday, now past."
When he came back to himself, that dreamlike voice had already faded away, as if it had been nothing but an "illusion" of Yin Zhi's.
Reason told him so, but he hoped it wasn't true.
Still, he would never stop following in the god's footsteps. Even if he fell again and again and kept picking himself back up, blood spattering the ground and his armor stained with crimson that could never be wiped clean.
For the god, and for the world.

"A knight must be determined to win before entering battle." Yin Zhi spoke to the person beside him with a faint smile. "Since I've already made my oath, I will keep moving toward the light, even if the price is my life."
"And I will protect you, just as I promised you before."
The person beside him did not reply, but leisurely toyed with the earring in their hand.
"Sometimes being too hard on yourself is a bad thing..." It silently curled its lips into a smile. No one heard its indistinct words, not even the handsome knight who held himself to such strict standards.
