Anahita's POV:

I started to climb the stairs, still hearing everyone sing behind me, as if to tell me I wasn't alone. It gave me more confidence to walk faster, with a determined mind.

I could see in front of me, the stairs, as well as the path that would lead me towards the shrine.

'The twins didn't lie about it; I wouldn't be surprised to see a spirit here; it looks so beautiful.' I looked around me still walking.

'I never saw nature looking so alive before; the trees and bushes are a deep, vibrant green and the light seems so caring and warm.'

I was so engrossed with what was around me that I failed to notice I had already arrived at the lake surrounding Earthia's shrine.

As soon as I felt a strong aura before me, I snapped from the stupor I was in and looked in front of me with a serious look on my face. I then noticed how close to the lake I was and took a step back, quite panicked.

'Whoa! That was close! I should be more careful. One more step, and I was done for.'

'Who knows what there is inside...'

I looked around the lake, hopping to find a way to cross it.
'Here !!' I saw some stones outside the water, creating a path leading to the shrine, so I started to make my way over it while holding my dress.

I was halfway there when I heard a sound. As if something had emerged from the water behind me.
I turned around swiftly and tried to find what made that sound, but I couldn't see anything. 

'Okay, that is weird.' I looked around some more before giving up, I turned around to continue moving towards the large building in front of me, where the strong aura came from.

As soon as I arrived, I started to make my way inside it while keeping my guards up, with a hand over the weapon hidden in a secret pocket I had the seamstresses make inside my dress in case something happened.

'Okay, the sooner I write my name, the sooner I can go back home.'

I hurriedly made my way over the stone lectern, where I could see the book sitting there patiently waiting for me to come over it.
