The Ef'i formed an orderly group before the building's entrance, and Khan approached them, planning to greet their leader. He could sense a fifth-level warrior among them, so his legs headed for her. Yet, his eyes suddenly spotted familiar features.
"[Mezmac]?" Khan called, looking past the first row of aliens to focus on a female Ef'i in the back.
The alien stepped forward, crossing her companions to reach Khan. She stretched her hand, keeping her black claws at bay, and Khan didn't hesitate to shake it.
"[You remember me]," Mezmac announced, using her language since Khan had done the same. "[I'm glad we could meet again, Prince Khan]."
Mezmac had been Khan's last opponent in Onia's tournament. The two hadn't seen each other in years, inevitably changing. Mezmac had become a fourth-level warrior, albeit seemingly recently. Still, Khan's transformation was far more evident.
