"My name is Yi Xin." Yi Xin, Eryke's Righteous Heart clone, spoke calmly.
"Woah, what a unique name! Doesn't that mean Righteous Heart?" The child beamed with excitement and eagerly showered him with questions. "How did you get such a sword? I've never seen anything like it before."
"..." Yi Xin didn't reply. Instead, he looked over every villager present and asked evenly, "Do you wish to follow me?"
"..."
The villagers froze at his words, exchanging uneasy glances.
Everyone here was defenseless; those capable of fighting had already fallen to the arrows.
"Can you give us some time?" one of the mothers asked hesitantly, swallowing hard.
"Hmm." Yi Xin nodded.
"Come here, child," she called to the little boy standing before Yi Xin.
"Yes, mother." The boy quickly stepped away and rejoined the others.
They moved further back from Yi Xin and began whispering among themselves.
