"How? How are you alive? I watched you get turned into stone!" Nirun said.
"You did. How about this? I will ask you one question and you can ask me one question. We both tell the truth. Is that okay?"
Nirun began pulling the ground up around Ning, threatening to attack him with it. "You are one step away from being killed for trespassing into my house. I do not care how you are alive. If you don't tell me why you are here, I will kill you."
Ning's face showed a lack of emotion for a while. "Hmm, so you don't want to play. I guess I will have to force you to play then. Since you asked the question first, I'll answer. I came to ask you some very important questions. Is that satisfactory?"
"What questions?" the man asked.
"My turn now," Ning said. "Are you the same Nirun that supposedly lost his abilities 2 years ago and became Sparkless?"
Nirun's eyes widened slightly before his face took on a serious expression.
