Are you worthy?

"You are a real bastard, aren't you?" A voice sounded suddenly.

Kaden stopped in his tracks and with the same smile he turned around to address whoever it was. Surprisingly, there was no one around him. Some players were following him from a distance but there was no one around him.

"What sort of a twisted freak are you to enjoy vanity such as this?"

The heck? Kaden once again checked, the smile on his face slightly faltered. There was really no one around him, but he was hearing a woman's voice.

"You idiot. Don't you know the difference between what you hear on the outside and the voice inside you?"

Kaden's facade completely dropped for a second. It then struck him. "Undying flame? You are a woman?"

"Fool! You do not deserve to know who I am!"

"So it is you?" Kaden mentally thought wondering if that was enough to communicate with the flame. Talking out loud to no one in particular was not good for the image he was trying to build.
