THE GROUP trudged through the rainforest some of them sweating profusely as their bodies adjusted to the humid atmosphere, one in particular.

The bronze pendant rested under the fabric of her shirt as Rhea twisted a silver ring around her index finger chewing on her lower lip.

Ikarus inched closer to the girls side, his eyebrows knitted together as he struggled to get a read on her emotion, however, she seemed void of anything.
