Chapter 24: Unexpected Guests

When Zenobi got back to the Professor’s house, she heard a rustling at the front door. She hastened to it faster than any human being is capable of and looked through the peephole.

On the other side was an old Japanese man that she did not recognize, along with a young lady that was probably about 40 years his junior. She was about to pretend that she was not at home and dematerialize when she saw something about the man that made her stop.

(That should not be possible. It has been thousands upon thousands of years since anyone had accomplished what I am seeing in front of me. Are my eyes deceiving me? Who in the world is this man?)

Right as the elderly Japanese man was about to open the door with his key. Zenobi opened the door. She was immediately taken aback because she could confirm her earlier suspicions when the peephole was no longer distorting her vision.
