    Something was watching me.


    I **whirled around,** reaching for my gun—

    She had **long, dark green hair** and sharp emerald eyes.


    One of the **Seven Prodigies.**

    She smirked. **"You’re getting involved in some dangerous things, Lucian."**


    I smirked back. **"And what’s it to you?"**


    She stepped closer, her eyes gleaming.


    **"I think it’s time we had a little… conversation...**
