That night, I dreamed of the sea.
There is wind on the sea, tide in the wind, and at the end of the tide, there is her name.
Her name is Shore Keeper.
What a gentle name, like a woman guarding a lighthouse in an ancient legend. She doesn’t speak, but just stands there quietly, lighting a beam of light for people returning home at night. And now, she no longer exists only in distant myths, but steps on the wings of butterflies and quietly descends on this game called “Mingchao”.
I watched her image slowly unfold on the screen, and a long-lost pity and expectation rose in my heart. She is the kind of person you feel familiar with at first glance, like an old friend you haven’t seen for many years. She whispered: “I have been here.”
She is a healer. She will not take the initiative to attack, nor will she shout in the center of the most heated battlefield, but she is the one who will never be forgotten. Her skills are not only healing, but also a gentle promise, which reassembles the team on the verge of breaking again and again, just like sewing old clothes with silk thread.
She will also turn into a butterfly. At that moment, I suddenly thought of the days when I ran in the fields as a child. Those butterflies were the freedom of my childhood, and also the forgotten things on my way of growing up. Now, she has returned to my memory in this way, allowing me to pick up those weathered fragments again.
And glaze coral is another existence. She is like a gust of wind before the first rain in autumn, a little cold, but also sober. She is also a healer, but with another more determined power. She uses arm armor as a weapon, as if to tell us: even if it is guarding, it can be sharp.
“Glaze” and “Coral” are hidden in her name. I don’t understand the terminology of ancient porcelain, but I know that glaze is a layer of warmth left by time, and coral is the hardness that can only be bred in the deep sea. She has a quiet power hidden in her body-she doesn’t need to stand in the front, but she can always support the whole world at the most critical moment.
She has a skill that can make the next person’s attack stronger. This reminds me of my teacher many years ago. She stood on the podium, her light was not dazzling, but she spent her life to give all the light to us. I didn’t understand it at that time, but now I know that the real strong do not need to stand in the spotlight.
The flow of time also left traces in this version update. On September 29, the shore guard will come; on October 24, the glazed coral will come. Just like two slowly falling autumn rains, with different rhythms and their own meanings.
Outside the game, we often spend our days waiting. Waiting for a letter, a phone call, a trip, or a name like the shore guard that makes people believe in gentleness again.
You may ask, should I prepare card drawing resources for them? I think there is no standard answer to many choices in life. If you really like them, it’s worth it. Not just because of their skills and values, but because, in this world, there must be one or two reasons that are worth your expectation.
Treabar’s recharge discount is a realistic choice, and the appearance of the shore guard and the glazed coral is a spiritual comfort. Between these two worlds, sometimes we have to balance efficiency and poetry.
And I hope you can meet them in this dream of the wind.
Just like how I once met you – gentle, firm, calm, but forever unforgettable.
