Chapter 45: Practice
"Uh, same here!" a snake man called out, trying to break the ice.
He left his apartment and ran down the stairs to speak directly to Nith. He didn't look much older than Nith. His handsome face, paired with short curly green hair and a shining slit green eye, made him appear friendly.
He wore green leather armor.
"You smell like a human, but our Queen must have brought you here for a reason! If no one believes you, I'll be the first one to do so!" the man said, extending his hand forward. "I'm Xanthus!"
"Nightshade," Nith replied, shaking the snake man's hand.
It seemed that only Medusa could see through Nightshade's prestige, as Xanthus cast a bright smile at Nith and asked if he could call him Night, which Nith didn't mind. Everyone shortened his nickname to Night these days.
