"Sophia?" I called out towards her,my senses still tuned to my surroundings just in case there's other things hidden within the mist.
"Divine One…" Shiori whispered.
I patted her on the head to assure her it was alright.
Sophia said nothing but started to walk towards me, closing the distance between us with large strides.
"Sophia?" I repeated again, unsure if she heard me.
"You have no idea how hard it was to get you alone here, Master Lin," She droned, cracking her neck. "Your disciples only start to let down their guard in the weirdest of times."
"What does my disciples have to do with any of this?"
"Acting ignorant, are we?" She sneered uncharacteristically. "No matter, what you should know is that you've been a rather big pain in the neck for us."
I tilted my head at her, "Us?"
