The Way Back

"That is when…

I felt your mana coming out of the portal.

My body was not in a condition to move, but I could still feel the traces of divine power covering your mana.

I mistook you for one of them, and I waited for you on the peak of the mountain.

However, you stopped coming closer, and just a few minutes later, Khalin's energy disappeared"

"Khalin? You mean that beast in the lake?"

"Yes, she was once my companion beast, when she was younger she was captured by a sea east from here, and she was being sold at an auction, since no one bought her, she somehow made it to the little village down the mountain, and I happened to see her by chance.

At the time she was still small, and her body fit in a box.

Me and my sister gave her a home in the glacial lake, and the goddess used her powers to take away all the cold from the lake, avoiding the freezing of the water.
