Chapter 936: Rosie and Feng
Feng sat kneeling in the grass beside Serika with a hand placed gently on the woman’s shoulder, offering silent support as Serika stared at the two unmoving bodies before them: one her sister, Nalai, dead and cold. The other, their father, Rykar, still alive, but unresponsive. As if only his shell remained.
"...Who are you?"
The sudden, high-pitched voice sliced through the silence like a trumpet in a funeral hall.
Feng’s instincts came alive instantly. She snapped her head toward the source, eyes narrowed, hand already drawing the slim blade at her waist as she rose halfway to her feet.
And there, floating several paces away, was something that simply shouldn’t exist.
A tiny girl, green-skinned and wide-eyed. Her curls were bark-brown and spun into ringlets, while her leaf-draped dress swayed as she hovered in midair. She couldn’t have been taller than a child who’d just learned how to walk. And yet...
She pointed one tiny finger at Feng with the righteous fury of a divine arbiter.
The newcomer lifted her utterly unmuscular pair of arms and flexed them as if they could inspire fear in her opponents. "You really think you’re gonna draw your sword in Papa’s realm and get away with it?!"
Her cheeks puffed out as she lowered into a dramatic battle-ready pose... though she wobbled slightly in the air, clearly unused to trying to look threatening.
"Rosie will protect Papa’s home no matter who she has to DESTROY!"
Feng blinked.
