1531 The Fire of Youth

Ryu ended up not entering the Fading Star Sect. The risk to reward ratio wasn't worth it and he felt a great sense of danger just standing in its outskirts, but his excursion to the Stalwart Sun Sect went just as well as the previous two.

Litaor sat with a dark expression on his face. His mood had been particularly volatile in the last several weeks. Everyone knew why, so no one dared to ask. 

Flashes of lightning sparked in his azure hair and eyes. He crushed the glass in his hands, sweat beading down his body.
