Lucius moved through the forest at a leisurely pace, Lily resting peacefully in his arms.
As he gazed down at her sleeping form, he couldn't help but find her appearance cute.
His eyes narrowed as he contemplated the mysterious being he had encountered.
With time to reflect on the encounter, one detail stood out—the being's attack.
It resembled Lily's Moonlight Slash, but it carried a greater force and left the blade in the form of an energy wave. It was a technique he was eager to learn.
"Also, who was it and why Lily?" Lucius pondered aloud. He placed his hand on Lily's neck to check her pulse and ensure that everything was normal.
His examination continued as he inspected her body, searching for any signs of injury.
He traced his fingers gently over her face, his touch brushing against a significant scar that left a white mark. It was a reminder of the cut she had suffered when he had lost consciousness.
