Success & Sweetness
The next day.
Kiba and Ashlyn had breakfast after which they left the crystal house. Ashlyn pressed her hand on the door and the house transformed into a crystal cube.
Kiba gazed at the morning sky which was covered by an icy mist. A chilling breeze blew past his ear like a whisper from a ghost.
Kiba observed the sky through the mist. Slowly, in his eyes, a blurred image of a woman flashed. The woman was made of blue fire and on her face, there were traces of blood. Her lips were curled up in a loving smile, radiating kindness.
"Who is she?" Kiba thought in his heart. "I have never seen someone matching her silhouette...could she be just a product of imagination?"
He couldn't properly recall what he saw in the nightmare, except for a few blurred and incomplete pictures of a woman and a claw.
The soft snow underneath Ashlyn's feet crunched and released a delicate sound as she stepped next to Kiba.
