48 Lead

Princess Qamari, who was holding the winged-white tiger gently in her arms, suddenly stopped. Her whole body shivered as a feeling of being peeked at overwhelmed her senses.

Sharply raising her head, she looked directly into the eerie green-gold eyes in the sky.

Before she could react, the eyes suddenly vanished. As if they were just passing by or were never there, to begin with, and she was just imagining things.

However, she knew that she was not imagining. Someone or something was just peeking at her.

Shuddering with apprehension, she immediately threw her sword into the air, jumped, and landed right on its back the instant the golden bird transformed.

Flying, they headed out of the deep forest, towards the direction of the silver-rafter.

She was no longer in the mood for adventures and exploration.

'It was still best to hide out until the end of the competition.'

Thinking thus far, she urged Skyler faster in the direction of their makeshift shelter.
