133 Children of Mana, Part Seventeen

Lianna moved with purpose through a dense, murky swamp, southwest of Garriden, her steps cautious yet determined.

The air was thick with the scent of decaying vegetation, and the eerie silence was broken only by the occasional rustle of unseen creatures in the undergrowth.

She had ventured out alone, her mind set on testing the capabilities of the artifact she carried.

She didn't want to attract unnecessary attention or risk endangering others with her actions. Besides, Enverna hadn't yet come back from her training and Zura was still hanging out with Vayn somewhere, and, in all honesty, Linna couldn't wait any longer after successfully activating the artifact. 

It was all she could think about right now. 

With each step she took, she scanned her surroundings, searching for any sign of movement that might indicate the presence of a Fiend. 

Using {Reconnaisance}, she looked through the trees and muck, trying to spot them.
