Lamentation Ode

The guardian of Yunqi Valley died, and no one knew why. But within a week when the weather clears, everyone must complete the ritual - Continuous Talk in the Mist - before the barrier disappears. They take turns telling stories, drawing their companions into their own world, and pleasing the sacred beasts in exchange for power. Some people are talking about secrets that have been sealed for a long time, while others are talking about the death dates of people present. No one can stay out until the clouds obscure the sun again.
