Ashes

Everyone else was talking about wizards, mysterious realms, magic and ghosts. No one noticed what Lily was doing: the others knew that it was normal for the husky maiden to run around like a curious bunny. No one would blink an eye even if she suddenly decided to dig a hole and bury herself in it. Lily was now standing beside the stage listening to the sounds of the other dimension. Only until the sound slowly becoming distorted as if a radio interference, Lily snapped out of her stupor.

Lily's ears flickered as she tried to listen to the voices again. But it vanished, and the faint shadows before her eyes were fading like water ripples. She lifted her Frostfire Claws in the air trying to catch them, but it turned out they were mere phantoms.

Hao Ren noticed her. He asked from afar, "Lily, what are you doing?"

"I just heard someone talking!" Lily immediately darted towards Hao Ren and told them what she had heard and seen.
