Winter came and went.
Spring showed its beauty before giving way to the brilliance of summer, which too rested to let the amber awe of autumn appear.
The cycle continued several times as the Silent Lotus World slowly recovered from the great war that had shaken its foundations.
Many had perished in that battle, yet countless more had been saved... all because of the sacrifice of one man.
Lin Mu.
His name was now spoken daily by all those who lived within the Silent Lotus World.
Songs were sung, statues raised, and children were taught that it was Lin Mu who had saved them all. The survivors of that dreadful war spread his name far and wide, letting every corner of the realm know the identity of the man who had paid the price for their lives.
They were deeply grateful, praying every day for his health and recovery.
And so they waited as days turned to months, and months to years.
