A creature of ultimate majesty strode with great dignity through the night.
The creature had the body of a musk deer, the tail of a dragon, and was covered in fish scales like black jade.
A long, curved horn protruded from its head, and its jet-black scales shimmered with five-colored star patterns.
The night itself seemed to envelop this magnificent creature, transforming into an aurora of myriad colors.
Beside this majestic, enormous qilin, a seed began to sprout, using the heavens and earth as its trellis and the void as its soil.
Tough, jade-like vines climbed wantonly between heaven and earth.
Triangular, fan-shaped leaves grew from the vines, and pale purple, trumpet-shaped flowers, ringed with solid ice, bloomed proudly in the dark night.
