Chapter 117: Killer moon
Though they where warned, the group couldn’t fully believe what they heared. So, they decided to pass the time by catching up a little, despite the worry and fear for their missing friend weighing in their heart.
Feng Jiao Xue told them about what happened in the empire more detailed than what she said when they met, keeping to herself some parts of it that is better left unsaid.
Xia Lian did the same, telling her more of their adventures, from returning to the mist, to hunting monsters, protecting nobles in a journey and such.
Feng Jiao Xue stood near the window as she listened.fingers grazing the heavy curtain fabric.
"Sister, the moon is about to rise soon. Don’t get too close." Mo Tianze worriedly called to her, tugging at her.
"It’s fine, I’ll stay away from the light." She told him.
She got to admit, she was curious about the so called Blood Moon. And... fascinated at least, her interest piqued.
"Jiao Xue, I agree with Mo Tianze. Let’s stay away from the scary, killer moon, shall we?" Xia Lian called her away.
By this point, the sky already started to turn a golden shade of red as the sun slowly retire for the night.
Feng Jiao Xue hadn’t opened the curtain despite her tugging and dangerously growing curiosity, she didn’t dare to. At that thought, her eyes flickered to Mo Tianze and sighed.
But the aura of the Blood Moon pressed against the walls like a held breath. She didn’t need to see it to feel the way it clawed at the edges of her soul.
