Alex was woken up from deep concentration with a knock on the door.
He walked up to the door, expecting to see his Master. Bladedance would be leaving in 3 days, so he assumed it was time for her to leave the palace and prepare for her eventual departure from this realm.
However, when he opened the door, he was surprised to find a White Tiger standing before him instead. He got confused for a moment, but he thought he recognized the shape of the face and the design of the stripes as the one he had seen before.
"Senior… Fulin?" Alex said with a hint of uncertainty.
"You're the human named Alex, aren't you?" she asked. "The one bonded to young Shouchuang."
"I am," Alex said.
"Good! Come with me," she said with a stern voice of disapproval. "You've been summoned by the patriarch."
