Xasha came to a stop in the air above the city. There was an aura membrane around the city blocking his path. Xasha was about to take out his pass when a small gap in the membrane opened. A flash of golden light shot out, then faded a few steps before him.
Xasha saw a tall golden-haired beauty materialized before him. However, this beauty was Kenya and not Ari. She greeted Xasha with a mage salute. Xasha chuckled at the sight.
"It was like yesterday. I remember the golden dragon running around the mood garden with Ari. Look at you now, so strong, so majestic, all grown up, eh?"
Kenya smiled sheepishly. "I've come a long way. I still have a long way to go," she said with determined eyes.
"I'm proud enough already. I can't imagine how you could make me more so." Xasha chuckled light-heartedly. "It is good to see you, Ken. How have you been?"
"Tired," Kenya responded sarcastically.
