"I-is everyone okay..?" the small voice of Shi Ai whimpered, a soft trail of blood dripping from his eyes as he looked around at everyone.. "Did I.. did I save everyone..?"
"Shi Ai–" Everett whispered, sitting up and rubbing his ears, unable to stop the ringing. He could feel a splitting headache building. He looked at the young boy with a small smile. "Thank you."
"Did I hurt you, Xuesong Shixiong?" Shi Ai asked, his eyes wide when he saw how much pain he was in, as well as some of the other cultivators. The boy started to feel extremely bad.
"What was that?" Seiji asked, closing his eyes as the pain subsided. He rubbed his temples, trying to get the ringing out of his ears.
"The cry of a banshee can destroy a demon, or injure those with demon blood," Meilin said, staring at Seiji with sad eyes. She cleared her throat and looked around as everyone gathered outside. "Now explain to me why you're here with the Dark Clan, boys. After I explicitly told you not to meet them."
