บท 139: Shadow's Spirit Form

"Oh my...!"

Emily could barely believe her eyes. The five feet tall white lion that was standing in front of her was a sight to behold. Its glowing amber eyes were looking directly back at her and she could not move her own eyes away from it even if she wanted.

It started walking towards her with slow steps that made no noise at all. On the other hand, Emily felt something jumping inside her as she had a sudden urge to throw her arms around his neck and snuggle her face against his silky white mane.

She had a soft corner for animals and at the moment, she was facing a breathtakingly beautiful lion. How could she not be so eager to touch an actual lion especially when she knew that it won't hurt her?

"Shadow...?" 

She called out his name softly as she raised her right hand towards his face but stopped before her hand could actually come in contact with his head.
