The Quest for Survival
"Kaze, Hina, Chiaki, and Nakano. Follow me," a female voice suddenly said, interrupting our conversation. We turned to see Elder Ning, an uncomfortable expression on her beautiful face.
The four of us exchanged glances wordlessly, and decided to just do as told. I looked up into the sky and saw the patriarch glare down at me, a strict look in his eyes.
Goddamn it, geezer… what do you want from me?
Elder Ning led us towards the public facilities quarter of Evergreen Peak and eventually stopped before a large hotel. Various groups of other disciples were also gathered here, though there were more at other hotels further away.
Without any hesitation, she headed inside and we followed her. The receptionist stood up and bowed upon seeing Elder Ning, but our master seemed to be in no mood to reply and instead boarded an Essence-powered elevator, by the looks of it. The light within, however, still ran on electricity.
