After shaking off the shock of seeing that black cloud, Mikhail turned his attention back to Azalea, who had yet to look over to The Tower herself.
"Azalea, look behind you!" he shouted with wide eyes.
The young woman's eyes had grown wide with shock as well, but not because she had turned around. No, in fact, she was still staring at Mikhail. She was looking at him with awe, and he could see how her eyes seemed to move all over his figure.
Like she was trying to scan every little feature.
"AHEM!"
"LOOK. BEHIND. YOU!"
Mikhail snapped his fingers several times with an over-exaggerated expression of annoyance before she seemed to come back to her senses, causing her to snap towards where Mikhail was pointing.
And as the young woman turned around to face the tower in the distance, a familiar voice rang out in Mikhail's mind.
