"I found something or perhaps I found nothing. I truly don't know", he said, talking with an enigmatic tone.
"What? What do you mean? Either you found something or didn't."
"Yeah, why are you speaking like that, don't tell me you found some ghost or something."
The others laughed together but Ruishi Lei's next words silenced them.
"Maybe I did find a ghost, a ghost that can command the skies. Or perhaps a phantom of sorts. I don't know what I found but I do know that the North is its territory."
"How do you know?" one of them asked him.
This time they had serious expressions on their faces. After all, they never took Ruishi Lei for a liar, his words carried truth and they could tell through his demeanor.
"It warned me, this... Phantom of the North. It told me never to venture into its territory. In fact, I was left alive to warn the others. If we did, it would leave none of us alive", he told them.
