Oath
It could be no one else but him.
Hao Xuan had only technically met him once or twice but he remembered the destitute farmer-turned-hunter with stark clarity.
Jax heard his name and turned around to see Hao Xuan standing at the foot of the hill.
He smiled, "It has been a long time sir."
But to say that Hao Xuan had mixed feelings about the circumstances of their meeting would be the biggest understatement of the year. He knew what this meant and his doleful expression accurately portrayed his feelings.
"Damn it, why did it have to be you? How could you have fallen to their side? Or...were you always one of them, a demon?"
Hao Xuan began questioning everything he knew about the man.
Jax didn't answer directly and instead motioned for Hao Xuan to come up.
"Won't you sit with me and talk?"
And with a bittersweet feeling, Hao Xuan trudged along before sitting down right beside him.
