Cheng Xiu stopped in her tracks. The others followed suit.

"And who are these?" the man asked. His voice was deep and alluring.
Cheng Xiu tilted her head. In which part of the world would this man be mistaken for a female? Even as a youngster, the man should have a strong masculine presence.
"They are the Invaders, Brother," the queen said to the man, "They are the people who are assigned by the Clock Tower to stop you."
