The Warrior Girl

"Who are you?" Da Xia asked the little girl who had suddenly appeared out of nowhere. She appeared to be eleven or twelve years old. Her long black hair was falling around in curls and her chubby cheeks made her look cute and pretty.

However, despite her cute appearance, Da Xia could see the sharpness in the little girl's eyes and the strong aura surrounding her. She looked more like a warrior and less like a little kid. There was even a sword hanging around her waist.

"I'm just a wandering soul. You can call me Shu Mei." The little girl answered as she played with her curls that were falling around her shoulders and back.

"I'm Da Xia..." Da Xia introduced herself as she tried to observe the little girl but it wasn't that easy to decipher her intentions. "... Don't you think it's risky to wander around such a dangerous place all by yourself?" She asked after a while.
