Xiran was up on his feet like a flash of electricity and pushed Aselia behind, hiding her behind his tall frame as he snarled at the man who resembled him from his hair to his complexion down to his eyes.
"Who are you? Don't you dare take a step forward or I will rip your head off," the threat in his voice made the mysterious stranger smile in a way that the whole space around him seemed to brighten. Although it was dark, he seemed to be emitting a light of his own.
Aselia peeked from behind Xiran, seeming stunned at the arrival of a newcomer but she didn't feel threatened by him, the man had the same hair as Xiran did and he had multiple braids in them. His attire was pure white and the material didn't seem to be anything Aselia had ever seen before. Everything about him screamed purity and serenity.
