The sun was setting over the bustling city, casting a warm orange glow over the crowded streets. Zephyr, with his messy black hair and bright brown eyes, navigated through the throng with ease, his 6'2" frame towering over most.
Zephyr
"Hey, Kali! Wait up!" I called out, spotting my friend's fiery red hair in the distance.
Kali
"Zeph! Over here!" She waved him over to a street vendor, where she was sampling some exotic-looking food.
Zephyr's eyes scanned the crowd, his instincts on high alert. He had a feeling something was off, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.
Zephyr
"What's that you're eating?" I asked Kali, eyeing the skewer of meat she was devouring.
Kali
"It's called 'Dragon's Breath'! It's supposed to be super spicy." She grinned mischievously.
Zephyr raised an eyebrow, his bright brown eyes sparkling with amusement. He loved Kali's adventurous spirit, but he wasn't sure if he was ready for something that spicy.
Zephyr
"You're going to burn your taste buds off one of these days." I chuckled, shaking my head.
Kali
"That's the point!" She laughed, her eyes sparkling with mirth.
As they joked, Zephyr's gaze drifted over the crowd, his instincts still on high alert. He felt like they were being watched, but every time he turned to look, there was no one there.
