At a certain airport in Oregon, the watchtower has been having a hard time redirecting flights to other neighboring states that were yet to be unaffected. Since the first big bang that shook the world, the states' higher-ups decided that it was better for them not to accept any other visitors as the situation was yet to be understood.
And just like any aircraft that made a detour once it was ordered to, a plane from Jing was still roaming around as an unavoidable situation had arisen and they needed to make an emergency landing.
This was the plane that the monk from the Dragon Mountain had boarded. And in all, he had figured out that they were being rerouted to some safer state away from the chaos. But the monk had one goal and that was to meet with Rue who was currently in Hermiston so that he could teach and guide her properly.
