The girk spoke softly in the flickering light, from which fire or candle was the source was unclear. Old Xiong wanted to turn on the lights but the girl, who nire and more seemed to give off an aura not onky of mystery, but of something oerhaps nit quite right, had eyes on him. The stare seeme ti freeze him where he was. But the okd man laughed thinking "I am an ild man and this pretty young woman is staring at me. I am enjoying the experience. That is the onky reason why I am not getting up to turn on the light." So he spoke aloud, "Kara turn on the light." But Kara was enchanted to. And so had the sinking feeling one gets when your car has lost control and is swerving into oncoming traffic.
He cleared his throat and looked at Kara.
"So....." said Kara trying ti save old Xiong face by speakibg first whike he played nysterious Sifu.. though perhaos this play acting woukd be useless against a womab whi comes to your hoyse apoearing out if the shadows at midnight. "What's your name?"
"I am the rightful warrior queen of the kingdom in the reflection of the moon on the lake."
"Errr... so we shoukd call you...." Old Xiong began..
Her eyes flashed copper...."Serena"
