55 Shapeshifter

This person was a man with a very calm and ordinary expression on his face. His eyes were blue, and underneath the hood of his robe, wavy brown hair was falling down towards his shoulders, and he had a short but fairly dense brown beard. This man came before Cruxal and started to say something to him. Then he raised his arms and a white fog formed on his hands, which then surrounded Cruxal and then disintegrated.

Part of his left arm was exposed when the man raised his arms, and Heinald noticed something strange at that time. The man had a strange tattoo on his forearm. He squinted at once and began to scrutinize that tattoo with all his attention. He had difficulty seeing the tattoo clearly, being hundreds of meters away from them, but he could tell that it was a snake tattoo wrapped around a wand.

"What did that man do to the Cruxal?" Heinald thought inwardly. He could not understand what the smoke screen was for.
