In the darkness of a room reeking of wax and iron, black shadows coalesce at the heart of a bloody pentagram. Xie Lian, trembling with fear and adrenaline, stumbles back as a deafening roar erupts from the veil of smoke, shaking the very walls. Yet the fury is instantly replaced by a playful smirk. From the mist steps the form of Hua Cheng: unnaturally pale skin, long black hair cascading to his waist, and a left eye burning with scarlet fire. His right eye is concealed by a bandage, and heavy wings snap loudly behind his back. The demon tilts his head, his spear-tipped tail twitching nervously as he regards the boy, frozen in horror, with a terrifying tenderness.
