Jaden and Jason emerged from the dust cloud, their steps faltering as they noticed Stephen standing still. His fists were clenched, and a grave expression marred his face.
It was only then that they looked ahead and saw a figure standing right in the middle of their path. He appeared to be a young man, dressed fashionably in black silk trousers and a shirt adorned with intricate designs.
His boots looked custom-made, and a jacket was draped over his shoulder. He held no weapons, so Jason and Jaden didn't think much of him. In this day and age, a weapon was a crucial part of combat strength.
His hair was sleeked back and he wore a mask that covered only the upper part of his face, revealing fair skin and well-defined jaws, along with an eye that seemed to glow.
It was then that Jaden and Jason realized there was only one eye—a golden eye akin to a torch in the darkness. In place of the second eye was nothing, just darkness.
