226 Traitor Known

Xia appears back in the same open field as before but the skies were now dark with heavy black clouds and Eli was no longer basking on the large rock. The wind in the open field wipes around her long white dress and long dark hair but her face was in a mask of worry and fear as she thinks about what to tell Eli. As she walks past the magic barrier, a wave of dark power washes over her making her shiver. The entrance to the cave is dark and empty but she can feel Eli's presence like a cold breath on the back of her neck. She pauses for a moment and takes a deep calming voice when she suddenly hears "What happened?"
