In the current environment, it was stupid to be away from a large group because you would become an easy target for creatures lurking around.
It's in this city of peasants and criminals that a lone figure walked along the streets, stopping from time to time to give some coins to beggars, who couldn't even see his/her face since the figure wore a black cloak with a hood that shrouded his/her face in darkness. Said beggars couldn't contain their tears when they saw that the man had gave them Gold Dragons ( i won't explain how much a gold dragon is worth but it's a lot, trust me)which only made the figure even more suspiscious in the eyes of the guards, but they ignored him. To them he must be like Margaery Tyrell, a noble who acted like he/she cared about the poor people, even if it was only a way to gain support from those naive fools.
It was a flimsy excuse, a half-truth. Black wasn't just a color—it was a shield, a mark of his true nature. And he couldn't risk putting on something so pure, so angelic, when the very essence of his being was far from it. He was not an angel. The mere act of wearing white seemed like an unbearable lie.
He was terrified as if he lost something hell precious.
peeping at but waiting for shower after you!"
Not only was Du Yingxuan surprised, even Mu Zheng and Ye Ruwei were also shocked and confused by this ridiculous scene.
Loki's eyes bulged as he almost swallowed his tongue. The cream and fruit jam practically melted into his mouth before he had time to register what was happening. The taste alone almost made him want to ditch any plans the trio had against the man in front of him. Scoffing the rest of the cake, he eyed the rest guiltily.
"The Fire Sage I presume?"
"If that's God's will, then so be it. The High Priest is doing the same as us right now, protecting the Spirit Forest even when the odds are against him." Priest Dravya had no intention to let them bring any harm to the beast, even if they die. As irrational as it was, Priest Dravya did make sense about High Priest doing the same thing but on a larger scale. No wonder he took the same step as those stubborn old men and put his life on line to protect this place. It seemed the entire priesthood qas full of stuck up old men. Before he could say anything the beast roared once again and it seemed to be just behind them. It stepped into the clearing after trampling more trees and everyone finally had a view of the magnificent elephant. It was atleast four times the size of the normal elephants and had a weird bump on its forehead.
Tick - Tock.

"Okay, that part is taken care of. I suppose looking around won't hurt."
