"Truly, it has been a long time, hasn't it? Hahahaha!" The horse's laughter reverberated through the ancient ruin, echoing off the weathered stone walls and filling the space with a sense of long-lost joy.
Lyon swiped his tears away with a broad, heartfelt smile. "Yup! It's great to see you again, Uncle Ma! I've missed you so much."
"Ma!" Shen, the True Dragon, appeared in his full majestic size, his scales glistening like precious gems under the shimmering sunlight. "How long have you been stuck here?" His voice, a deep rumble, resonated with concern.
"I have no idea," the horse replied, shaking its head, its mane shimmering in the light, reflecting a spectrum of colors.
"Why are you even here?" Rui asked, her eyes wide with curiosity, her voice filled with genuine concern and bewilderment.
