Finally!
John reached the center of the light, with the shadow at his feet curling into a faint, trembling ball as he moved.
"I'm here. Where are you?"
"Your power is average, but your temper is quite fiery."
"You called me over here, and now you won't even show yourself. What's the deal?"
John retorted irritably, ready to turn and leave, when suddenly a figure appeared behind him.
"Hmm, your talent is decent, but your alchemy skills... why are they so poor?"
"What do you mean by that?" John asked.
"Such a waste of good talent."
John frowned, scrutinizing the beautiful woman who had appeared before him.
Even in his two lifetimes, having seen so many beautiful women, she stood out, able to outshine them all.
Her sky-blue eyes seemed to contain an endless expanse of stars, swirling within them.
Her fair skin was as smooth as cream, and even the slightly loose robe she wore couldn't hide her proud figure.
