Jin was surprised multiple times over the last few minutes. The first surprise came when an Imperial soldier tried to intercept her. He was clearly using magic, but something about it felt strange. Different than anything she'd felt before. He shot giant thorns of ice at her, and Jin found herself adjusting her wind spell just so, making the attacks miss her by inches. The soldier couldn't keep up, and fell behind. 

The second and third surprises came from the same person. The yellow-haired man who'd instructed her toward safety had some kind of unusual sword. More striking than that was the magic he used. She felt it, like an odd ringing in her ears. It wasn't the fire, it was what came afterward. That soldier wasn't there anymore. Barely a scrap of him remained. Nothing to bury, even, to inter to the Goddesses. Even though these people were trying to attack her, that didn't seem quite fair. 

When the man approached her, his eyes studying her, she stared right back at him right in the eyes. It was a bit disrespectful to do to a stranger, but Jin wasn't quite sure if she was safe with these people just yet. She'd been about to ask him why he'd killed that soldier so, but then the man started speaking. It took her a few moments to translate his speech, but the moment he said "Goddess Eden", she blinked several times in confusion. He looked human, but he knew of both Goddesses? She didn't think any humans did.
