'Khanna' sat at the stairs, meditating with her eyes closed and her legs crossed in a lotus position.
Her breathing measured, she seemed prepared to wait for as long as it would take for Alex to return.
Why did she not consider the possibility that they would die?... Well, it was quite simple.
Because she had no other choice.
If Alex died, that would mean the only way to bypass the corpse of the Immortal King would be gone as well, forever locking up the Fountain which was perhaps her only means of recovery.
She could surely consider other options but the poison was proceeding at a rapid rate.
At the rate it was going, she might not witness Astra so she could only hope that Alex would return with a drop from the Fountain.
Letting out a sigh, she suddenly felt something causing her to pause, her eyes quickly opening as her expression turned sour.
"What has that fool done?"
