".... No one was alive except for you two," Eveline added, her voice low and steady.
"Two?" Wang Xiao turned to his right, catching sight of Luna, who, though awake, was in a sorry state.
Her clothing hung in tattered strips, her eyes were open but her lips were pressed tightly shut, signaling her silence.
One hand was conspicuously missing, replaced by a ragged stump, and her exposed ivory skin was stained by numerous dark speckles.
"He wasn't Maliketh..." Luna's voice was barely a whisper, her gaze drifting skyward yet acutely aware of Wang Xiao's concerned stare.
She had been conscious for some time, quietly channeling her energies to mend her battered body.
"Who is he then?" Wang Xiao's brow furrowed in confusion and concern.
