101 REWIND 3

It seemed that the royal guards were not buying it as they were not removing their pointed spear at her. 

Young Zoe gulped. 

'I should have removed the smudges from my face. Or changed to a decent set of clothing like the ones in the dressing room. What will I do now?'

All of a sudden, an enigmatic old man out of nowhere came out from the forest and disturbed the suspenseful scene. 

He is wearing a white top garment that runs to the ankles. It has long sleeves with a bottom cream chang and a cream bixi.

He is also holding a long white ivory staff. Everything is dazzling white as it is.

But what stands out the most is his silver-white long hair and beard. 

"Am I in Erebor? He looks like Gandulf!"

Zoe uttered under her breathe. She remembered the movie Lord of the Rings as she saw the old man in front of them.

"Elder Shao Qiang!"

The soldiers speedily jumped to their feet, formed a horizontal line, and made a bow to him.
