Ning's eyes widened when he heard what the old man said. "What do you mean?" he asked. "What did you say about her lineage?"
"Not something you should be worrying about," the old man said. "Leave that place already!"
"No," Ning said. "Not until you answer just what she is and what is going to happen with her."
The old man took a deep breath. "What was your name again, son?" he asked.
"Ning," Ning answered.
"I'm going to say this just once, Ning. Move away and let us do our job. If you won't, we will be compelled to use force."
Ning stood tall, not giving in to the obvious attempt at intimidation. "So you won't answer me?" he asked.
"Alright, I'm getting tired of this," the old man said, his voice filled with annoyance now. He turned around to the bald man. "Go deal with this youngster and have your undead carry her out of her."
