A short while ago, just before the entrance to the secret realm appeared...
Inside a cozy inn in Ebonheart City...
A young woman, who seemed to be around the age of twenty, was currently sitting on the floor with crossed legs. Her eyes were tightly shut, and sweat trickled down from her forehead to her beautiful face. A frown creased her face as a purple jade hovered in front of her. Strange texts were coming out of the jade that entered her forehead, and sharp energy which felt like thousands of swords surrounded her, making it seem like anyone approaching might get sliced into thousands of pieces.
Another woman, a bit older, watched her with concern, her eyebrows knitted tightly.
Cough
The young woman opened her eyes, coughing blood. The purple jade, once floating, now lay on the floor.
"Tang Ning, damn it!" The older woman on the sidelines hurried forward to assist.
