[Eye of Odin]

As we made our way deeper into the forest, I walked slightly ahead, scanning the surroundings while subtly leading us off the main path. The dense foliage and the eerie silence of the forest provided the perfect cover for my plans.

Oscar, ever vigilant, was on high alert, his eyes darting around for any sign of danger. Amelia, on the other hand, seemed more focused on me, her concern evident in her eyes. I could use that to my advantage.

"Stay close, Nathan," Amelia said, her voice soft but firm. "This part of the forest can be dangerous."

I nodded, slowing my pace so that she and Oscar could catch up. "I know, teacher. That's why I asked you to come with me. I feel safer with you around."

She smiled, a slight blush coloring her cheeks. "Just be careful."

"Don't worry, Lady Amelia. As long as I'm here, nothing bad will happen," Oscar assured her with a bright smile.
