The next day, bright sunshine streamed into the room, waking Alexander.
Glancing at the clock, he realized it was already half past ten in the morning.
After getting up and freshening up, he walked into the living room, find two strangers, a man and a woman, sitting on the sofa.
"Good day, Mr. Alexander. Or should I address you as, the Lord of the City of Hope?" the woman stood up, smiling at Alexander.
Frowning at the sight of these two, Alexander asked, "Who are you?"
The woman, with her beautiful features and long braided hair, looked quite innocent.
"You may call us the Star Mages or Star keepers," she replied with a smile.
Alexander's frown deepened. "Star keeper? I've never heard of such a thing."
The man and woman exchanged glances, and the woman said, "Mr. Alexander, we're here to have a talk with you."
Alexander poured himself a large glass of water and drank it down.
