Near the entrance of the auction house built from crystal, in the middle of the crowd, a delicate layer of spiritual energy enveloped her body.
To everyone present, she looked like nothing more than an ordinary young woman, dressed simply, with features that blended effortlessly into the crowd. Her hair, which was actually long and black with silver streaks, appeared short and brown. Her eyes, normally almond-shaped and as deep as the night sky, looked round and dull.
Her slender figure, which normally drew attention with its natural elegance, appeared plain and unremarkable.
To Kyrian, the illusion simply did not exist.
He saw her long black hair with silver streaks cascading like silk over her shoulders, catching the lantern light and reflecting it in tiny silver glimmers. He saw her almond-shaped eyes reflecting the glow of the spiritual lanterns, as though they contained little stars within them, each shining with a light of its own.
