A Bond Like That Is Far Greater And Remarkable

Squinting through the bright light, Lianlian watched as forms of people began to emerge from the tree. She froze, looking at the shadows with wide eyes full of disbelief. 

"Why is it too hot?" A voice of a man exclaimed.

Another voice uttered, that of a woman: "Lower your voice."

"But I almost got skinned alive! Is this really necessary, Mister Alexander?" The man asked.

Lianlian blinked, her pale expression turning to a frown almost instantly at the mention of the familiar name. With a defensive stance, she looked at the three people – a man, a woman, and another man whom she had seen before.

It was Alexander, the one who had attacked her back in her territory!

Clenching her hands, she created a wave of water and froze it through the way of the newly arrived group. "Halt!"

It was then the group of three people finally stopped and noticed Lianlian.
