Leon's Friend
Like with the previous gemstone, my hand held it up close to the floating crystal, but there was no reaction.
My mind stopped the pulsating from the crystal.
After putting away the gemstone, my figure slipped back into the shadows.
...
My head peeked over a tree to see a clearing and with a village inside it.
My intention wasn't to go into the village but use it as a basis to find the ice pool with the pedestal.
Simply because it was faster, I walked into the clearing and approached the village.
After my foot was set on the clearing, there was a sudden rumbling.
Remembering the spell that Leon cast before, my heart tightened.
My eyes scanned the village for a pillar, while my legs began to sprint.
But... there was no pillar.
My steps started to slow as my eyes blinked a few times.
Was... this real?
