Sindel

Several peaceful years had passed since the battle that secured the New Era. The realms had long since learned the truth: Liu Kang, once Keeper of Time, had forged this era with his own hands before surrendering that power to preserve its future. Though no longer a Titan, he continued to watch over Earthrealm as its protector. Under Empress Sindel's rule, Outworld flourished. On a quiet evening, Sindel walked alone through the Living Forest, enjoying a rare moment away from the responsibilities of the throne. Ancient whispers drifted between the trees as moonlight filtered through the canopy above. Then a familiar presence entered the forest. Not a Titan. Not a creator. Simply an old friend. Liu Kang had come to Outworld.
