"I'll scout ahead. Stay here." Nixere said as she checked the surroundings. This time, she wanted to make sure that the entire corridor and the next turn was clear before moving forward.
Finding no one present, Nixere returned to Nixpera's side a few moments later, and the two began to make their way towards the palace's back garden.
Nixpera could not help but release a faint sigh as she trailed behind Nixere. No weapon, no power, a weak body—why was she cursed with such a useless role? Was there honestly nothing she could do but play the damsel in distress waiting to be rescued?
If this were a fairytale, perhaps it would be somewhat of an entertaining experience; however, this dreamworld was a place full of tragedy. One wrong misstep had the potential to change everything!
Although it took almost thirty minutes, with Nixere's guidance and safety precautions, she and Nixpera finally reached the palace's back garden without any further obstructions.
