The moment Devin opened his eyes, he sat up abruptly, as if he woke up from a long nightmare. He was panting as he put his hand on his chest, his heart beating faster than usual.
'It all seemed true to be a dream.'
When Devin calmed down, he looked around and saw an unfamiliar woman's figure by the window. Feeling alarmed, his eyes turned serious as he stood up, in a defensive stance.
"Who are you?"
The moment Devin asked who she is, the girl walked forward then bowed in front of him. Devin hadn't seen her clearly since her long black hair dangled, covering her face, as she bowed.
"I am now at your service, Master Devin. The name is Ava."
When Devin heard her reply, he heard and recalled the familiar name. It was the servant the serpent gave him.
"Rise," he instructed and the girl did so.
The girl had wavy long black hair, paired with expressionless gray eyes. Her lips had the perfect cupid's bow, making her overall facial features perfect.
