"Bang—"
Ethan burst out from the darkness and, without any warning, crashed into a figure as solid as a mountain.
A familiar voice came through:
"What's wrong with you?"
It was Levai. Alarms rang in Ethan's mind, his body tensed up:
"Nothing, I just got a bit lost. What happened?"
Levai's eyes shifted towards Ethan's back, speaking indifferently:
"Nothing. Just try to stay away from this area in the future. It's still unexplored territory, and we don't know what dangers might lurk within."
Ethan managed a smile, replying softly:
"I understand."
Levai didn't linger, turning to leave.
Ethan squinted slightly, unsure how to handle Levai.
Logically, Levai should be one of Elida's Demonkin.
Possibly even a mature one.
A flicker of thought crossed Ethan's eyes as he silently mused:
"I can only take it one step at a time."
