While Rudy was walking through the passage lit by the blue fire torches, on the other hand, Jane was standing in front of the cloaked figure.
Her body had frozen in fear, and words were stuck in her throat. She knew that running away from it won't do anything as it could effortlessly chase her in the vast desert. So she decided to confront it.
She might be scared of the figure, but she was still one of the strongest vampires. She wasn't going to let anything overwhelm her.
Even though Jane was standing right in front of the figure, she couldn't see anything other than its eyes. The figure stared into Jane's eyes with its blue eyes but didn't say anything.
"W-What are you?" Jane asked. "What do you want from me?"
The figure continued staring at Jane but slowly moved its staff and pointed it to the side.
Jane looked to the side and saw a massive tree in the middle of the desert, which clearly wasn't there before.
