Ryu stepped outside of a warp in space, his expression cold. The image of that symbol danced around in his mind, but he quickly forced himself to forget about it as harping on it without information would get him nowhere.
After a moment, he took out the three Beast Crystals and the Dao Bone, looking at them without a hint of happiness in his eyes.

Ryu took a breath and calmed himself, the coldness in his expression receding from one that might boil over at any time to one that was well within his control. There was no use in being so infuriated when there was nothing that he could do about it.
