Dusk was upon the land, the beautiful rays of the sun painting the forest and the lake in a melancholic orange.
Kicking the pebbles by the river, Aurora joined Sia with a cheerful face. "I never played treasure hunt before! I mean, I did hunt for treasures, but…"
She trailed off, fidgeting with an awkward face. Perhaps she felt Sia would be upset.
On the contrary, Sia showed a bright smile. Handing over an old parchment, she said. "Great! It makes the instructions easier. These are the clues left by Enigma. We'll seal our powers to a level 1 mortal and try to find the treasures individually. Hazel and Helena have prepared the traps and will keep an eye on us."
Aurora nodded, her pale face lighting up.
It was odd to watch Sia get along with Aurora so well. She hadn't been hostile but she wasn't very friendly either.
But ever since Aurora's condition had been revealed, Sia was the one who spent every day with her.
