Sky Sanctuary
There wasn't much Timothy needed to prepare for the trip to the Forbidden Lands.
He casually packed a few magical items and, with a smile, walked over to Sylvia. "Honey, while I'm gone, are you going to miss me all day long?"
"Miss you? Yeah, right!"
Sylvia snorted, pretending to be aloof. "Honestly, I can't wait for you to leave. Besides, the Forbidden Lands aren't that far away, and the treasure hunt shouldn't take too long. A few days at most…"
"Wow, didn't expect to be so unwanted."
Timothy shook his head dramatically, pretending to be hurt. "Fine, I'll just go then."
With a long sigh, he made a show of turning to leave.
But after just two steps, he felt a gentle tug on his wrist.
"Wait."
Sylvia's voice was soft, almost reluctant.
