Final Trial [2]

"Miss Snow, fancy meeting you here!"

When his voice rang out, Lunaria Snow's head snapped in his direction, her aura flaring. But when she saw who it was, her momentum waned.

"Hm? You are…"

"Ah, I guess we've only met once before. My name is Damien Void." 

Lunaria shook her head. "No, I'm well aware of your identity. That lass Ruyue spoke very highly of you."

Damien's eyes widened. "You know Ruyue? Were the two of you in the same trial world?"

"Trial World? Mm, an apt name. Indeed, she was in the same space as I was. We spent the year traveling together. It's a shame we were separated afterward."

"Ah, that's just how the rest of the trials are. She hasn't arrived here yet. Have you met anyone else?"

Lunaria shook her head. "You are the first person I've seen. This desert is too expansive. Even if there are others, it wouldn't be surprising if we never meet."
