Wang Yu Yan (28)

Since they left, the entire region fell into the hands of the fae race. 

Several hours later, Wang Yu Yan looked on from a high northern mountain, watching her former home become the fae's. The vehicle shielded her from the cold and the violent gust of wind.

She felt bitter, but she was not resentful. This was already a much better outcome than several million humans dying for a lost cause. 

She knew Jiang Li traded the territory for the time her race much-needed. 

The man resting in the backseat spoke. 

"This is part of the agreement."

Wang Yu Yan pursed her lips then bowed her head, "I see."

He elaborated, "They let your race escape to outer space, I let them have the vacated cities. I can't destroy the blockade to flood them."

'So he is not really human,' she confirmed mentally, noting in her mind how he addressed himself as someone not of her race.
