Gulp...!
Eira swallowed hard.
Her heart was beating so fast, it hurt.
Her hands were cold, and her legs quivered.
She had finally met Aestrea—face to face—and it was nothing like she expected.
He looked at her with glowing red eyes, and they didn't look like normal red at all.
His eyes looked like fire, and that fire was currently burning straight through her.
She wanted to move, to speak, but her body wouldn't listen.
She felt like a rabbit standing in front of a wolf.
Her knees were weak.
She could feel them shaking, and her mana—the power she trusted the most—started shaking too.
It was like even her magic was scared.
Eira had never felt this before.
This man... he was strong, very strong.
Better than her in all aspects she could think of.
She used to think her elf blood made her special.
Better than humans.
But now... as he stared at her like she was nothing...
If a man like this were a human... were humans really worthless?
