"Elder." Walking into the expansive hall, Luna found a stunning woman seated with her eyes closed. A gentle breeze swirled about her, causing books to drift and pages to flutter as words filled the vast space. New disciples—and even some seniors—watched in rapt attention, their eyes alight with wonder at the dancing text.
At last, the woman's eyes fluttered open, and in that moment, the floating books and drifting words stilled. The woman was breathtaking—her figure graceful and her face flawless. A calm, composed expression graced her features even as her heart must have been racing. "Luna, you're here?"
"Yes, Elder Ci." Luna stepped forward, bypassing the spellbound onlookers, and smiled warmly at the woman.
When Luna first arrived at the sect, Elder Ci had been the first to approach her, not only welcoming her but taking her on as a student. Aside from Celis and Rose, Elder Ci had become Luna's closest confidante.
