Many Essences

Randal still felt absolute incredulity as Umbra, the beast he had cut in half and killed, somehow came back to life with Time Essence. He had never imagined something like that being possible at all and somehow here it had happened right in front of him.

Ning tilted his head and raised his eyebrow. "So… are you going to answer me?" he asked.

"I… I am Randal Tarmon," the young man quickly said. "I am a High lord of this Country." He stood straight and proud after introducing himself.

"Good to know," Ning said. "Now, why did you kill my beast? I don't suppose someone as big as you can be paid to do what you did."

"I came here to find out what was happening," the young man said. "And found that there was a beast here killing all these men. I had to act. Anyway, why am I explaining this to you? Who are you exactly?"

"I'm the owner of this shop," Ning said. "And you are trespassing right now."
