Heartbeats

Ace was shocked. He then asked, "Can you tell me why?"

Jordan was quiet for a second. He then looked at Ace, "Can you promise me to keep it a secret from your village?"

Ace looked at the shadow with a suspicion, but he still nodded. He said, "Okay, I promise."

Jordan sighed. He then said, "Because, we are undead."

Ace was stunned. He looked at Jordan and didn't think that he was kidding. Then he recalled the intro of the game. When he saw their race was shadow, he subconsciously thought that he had heard or read it somewhere. But, because he was too obsessed with recruiting them, and couldn't immediately remember it, he thought it was not important.

Ace sighed. It was truly unexpected to him. It was just like when you finally met someone you loved, but on the day of the wedding, your parents told you that she was your long-lost sister. Well, that was too dramatic. But it was the rough idea of how Ace felt at the moment.
