When an Ignarii aether warrior showed up out of nowhere, the Zhen Clan scions were surprised. Aetherii would normally be only able to operate in regions of incredibly dense elemental aether.
When they vaguely understood the weird foreign language the aetherii had used when they introduced themselves as Olstenna, they were shocked. The language the man had used didn't sound like any of the seven tongues that the seven continents used.
When a second warrior that appeared to be connected to Olstenna showed up out of nowhere again and challenged Olstenna, the Zhen Clan scions were finally just...numb. A lot of crazy things had happened in the span of a few minutes, and the scions had barely any idea on how to handle it.
"Do...do we still go down there and fight, or..."
"Yeah, no. I can sense the energy those two freaky ass warriors are using and I'd rather not get caught up in the crossfire if I can help it."
