Shiyu's Links
A fellow High Elder. Shiyu has met Meizhen's past incarnations and worked with them plenty. He is surprisingly protective of young Vidyadhara, which includes Meizhen and wishes for her safety and well being. Shiyu understands the stresses that she must endure as someone born to protect a plague mark. After the incident with the reveal that Meizhen was on the Zhuming, he was even willing to extend his stay in the Luofu to help sort out her situation. Sees her as... a niece of some sort, and would go out of his way to help her.
Caelorum Venti, the High Elder of the Xianzhou Yaoqing. Meizhen last met him when she was very, very young, so she only somewhat remembers him. It was enough for her to fear him when she saw him on the Luofu, but also enough for her to feel safe in his arms when the Cloud Knights came after her. Considers him a guardian of sorts, as the oldest High Elder she knows personally.
She wants to apologize for what she became in her attempts to escape the Zhuming and find help for what she fears and experienced, but a part of her fears bringing it up will remind everyone that she stole and abandoned her post overseeing the Primordial Flame. Especially with her fears surrounding what the Flint Emperor might do.
