Beauty and Power

Splash!

It happened in an instant.

A figure had blown past Rex, swift as a phantom, leaving only a lingering presence in its wake.

His instincts flared, and as he turned, his pupils dilated at the sight before him.

At the center of the lake, a woman emerged.

First, her head breached the calm surface of the lake, crowned in hair split into two halves—one a deep, mesmerizing emerald, the other a shadowy black. A mask concealed most of her face, but her beautiful eyes remained exposed—one gleaming emerald, the other a pale, ghostly gold.

Cold and unreadable, they held an almost divine indifference.

Power radiated from her like an unshackled storm.

Just the sheer pressure of her presence sent a tremor through the air.
