Eventually we headed outside, Typhon and Ophelia showing me that the traps with bottom feeders had been reset and covered up with foliage to prepare for any new attacks.
With the new trees of the Nymph's forest spreading far and wide, the forest was now glaringly bright – its pinkish red leaves somewhat strange and unfamiliar.
Scorpion corpses littered everywhere, but they had become part of the soil and were overgrown with plants, removing all traces of the previous battle.
I also noted that unlike before, the forest was incredibly quiet, giving me the impression that we were the only creatures around for miles.
I should have been happy, but because it was due to the Nymph's interference, I felt somewhat trapped seeing her traces everywhere. Didn't this mean she could now walk freely from her part of the forest into mine?
«You've been marked by her. It will be very difficult to get away.» Sensei said, reading my thoughts.
