Meeting The Storm
She walked with Rì-Chū, heading over to the other young man, who had been patiently waiting beside a pile of crates.
When Kary got near him, she started feeling faint traces of mana on him, which led her to believe he was a player. The feeling was too weak for him to be awakened yet.
Hearing footsteps, the young man turned around, meeting Kary's gaze first, in which she could swear she saw a spark of blue. But the mirage was fleeting, and she felt no mana reaction, so she ignored it.
'Must have been my imagination.'
She extended her hand, opening her mouth to speak, but he spoke first, before she could place a word.
"Kary Deveille, also known as the vice-guild leader of Paragons, Phoenix. It is a pleasure to meet you face to face at last," he said, his knowledge about her catching Kary off guard.
His words were filled with confidence, contradicting his supposed enthusiasm for wanting to meet her.
