Kairos and Nyoka eventually got to a rickety building that looked rather familiar. It was the same one that the flower had previously imitated in order to trick them, except this time it wasn't a trick.
The moment the two of them got within ten meters of the house, the front door suddenly burst open, its hinges creaking dangerously, threatening to break off.
"There's a monster behind you, Nyoka!"
A young teenage boy with long white hair and hazel eyes threw himself out of the door and pointed a finger at Kairos accusingly. He held an abnormally wide greatsword in his other hand, which was raised, ready to attack.
Nyoka and Kairos both looked at him blankly. After a few seconds of staring at each other, Nyoka cleared his throat.
"Um, Jeff, this guy next to me isn't a monster. Not to mention, he's right beside me not behind. His name is Kairos."
Jeff's jaw slowly dropped, while his brows furrowed in confusion. While he was still lost, Nyoka turned to Kairos with a bitter smile.
