Aurianna turned to Gixo and instructed, "Show Kiana the locations. You know them, right?" She raised an eyebrow.
"Yes, I know them. You just saw them," Gixo replied.
"Good. Show her while I distract the monster. Once Kiana reaches the arrow, I'll draw the monster's attention so she can activate it," Aurianna declared confidently, convinced her plan would work.
"We can't afford to fail; if we do, we die," she added coldly, causing Kiana to gulp.
"Are you really going to fight that thing?" Kiana asked, her voice trembling as her gaze shifted to the distant Dragon Iphranx, whose mere presence made her shudder in fear.
"Why are you worried, mermaid?" Aurianna asked with a cheeky smile, swimming closer to Kiana.
"Who is worried about you? Humph!" Kiana snorted, then swam off with Gixo.
Aurianna watched them go and mused, "I guess I have to wait now. Attacking it while Kiana is nowhere near the weapon would be extremely reckless."
