A vast plain lay before Zheng Fei and Bai Yue, separated in half by a road that could barely stand scrutiny. If anything, it was nothing more than a path made by travelers over the years. The wind swept through the plain in a gust of dust, dirt, and dried blood.

"What about the beast we encountered with His Highness?" she asked after a long while, her gaze shifting away to the little bat flying over their heads. Its small wings were fighting against the wind to keep it in the air. "Was it another kind of demon?"
"No. It was a reaper."
