Wei Jin, channeling the spirit of the forest within him, stepped forward. He raised his hand in a gesture of peace, the white light emanating from his palm casting an ethereal glow on his face. The ethereal guardians, their forms swirling like wisps of smoke, turned their luminescent gaze towards him.
"We come not as conquerors," Wei Jin projected mentally, the spirit of the forest amplifying his thoughts. "We are the guardians of our own world, just as you are of yours. We seek not to sever the connection, but to strengthen it, to ensure it remains a bridge of life, not a breach of chaos."
The guardians pulsed with a soft, contemplative light. A wave of emotions washed over Wei Jin – curiosity, apprehension, a faint flicker of… empathy? He persisted, sharing their journey, the horrors of the Shadow Blight, and their desperate fight to save both realms.
