The shadow drakaina gasped, freezing in place as the radiant woman smiled. Something was off. Even she didn't understand what was standing in front of her.
The radiant woman smiled, her red lips curling up into a terrifying smile, "You can see me, can't you?" She stood, her feet sinking into Arad's mountain of gold coins and gems. With each step forward, the light radiating from her body refracted and reflected on the gold and jewels into a rainbow of sparks, colors, and mesmerizing brilliant luster.
Before the shadow drakaina could know it, the woman was already at her side, standing not a meter away from her. "I'm Luminous, what's your name, child."
Grace's skin started ripping apart and melting just from standing this close to her, and before she knew it, all of her skin had evaporated, revealing the dark shadows beneath.
