[ For a while, it seems like Runyu won't respond to that message, but at last, although the words come slowly, Runyu makes an effort to put a small portion of the truth out there, wrapped around what he's learned about the Fog. It's more subterfuge. He knows of this, but he cannot help it. He may have returned from the mountain, but he has not resolved that which drove him away in the first place. ]

You once told me what you'd been told about the Fog - that she seemed to be kept at bay by the other gods and took her revenge. However, Noa painted her as a mediator who lost herself when the war destroyed her sisters, the Day and Night gods. In that story, she tried to good and yet fell to her rage.

That is my story.

At least the Fog attempted to mediate between the opposing sides. I chose neither side and tried to destroy both because neither seemed to care for my words or actions.

[ This version of events ignored the factors before that Xingchen already knew of, the death of his mother, the Empress' treatment of himself, and the glorifying of his brother and ostracization of himself. But to Runyu, the sins he had committed were greater than his hurts, not because of the destruction of the heavenly realm, but the deaths and suffering of the two people once closest to him, Jinmi and Xufeng. ]
