The glowing rune on the girl's chest faded away, and soon her skin returned to normal as if the rune never existed. A slightly surprised expression appeared on her face as John had correctly identified her power.

"How do you know about the Dao of Time?" the girl asked curiously. "It's a power almost no one has experienced in this world."

"Ahhh….it's a long story," John replied sheepishly as his finger scratched his cheek. He couldn't explain the source of his knowledge. 

"So that's how you stopped that creature!" John chimed up in realization. Back when they fought the skeletal creature, the girl had yelled "stop!" and the creature seemed to be frozen in place for the briefest moments.
