Mortal Bone, Jade Pact

In an ancient world of sects and immortal boasts, two people with ordinary mortal bodies are bound by a jade pact. The contract asks them to cultivate side by side, breath beside breath, because neither was born with a bloodline the heavens respect. If power comes, it will come through the vow and through each other. / The pact is not a poem. It chooses their nights, their tempers, and the enemies who would rather see a mortal bond broken than copied.
