Ashes drifted down like snowflakes through the deathly silent space.
Lu Xiu once again arrived at the familiar Kiln of the First Flame. Stepping through the thick gray-white ashes, she entered the fog gate.
Then, in three swift moves, she dealt with Gwyn directly. The whole point was to kill him instantly.
