The sect master stopped to turn around and by that time the man had already approached them.
The old woman stopped as well with a huge frown on her face. "We're too late," she said softly so that only Alex could hear it.
Alex could only feel fear at the words she just spoke.
His eyes moved toward the newly arrived figure as he tried to figure out who he was exactly. However, he had never seen a person like this.
