As the group explored the enchanting village, nature's call became increasingly urgent for Daniel. A discreet bush, promising a moment of solitude, beckoned him.
"I'll be right back," he announced, a mischievous glint in his eye.Liam, ever the comedian, replied, "Don't get lost in there."
With a roll of his eyes, Daniel disappeared into the foliage. As he approached the bush, a voice startled him.
"Aren't you ashamed?" a feminine voice scolded.
Daniel's heart skipped a beat. He peeked through the leaves, his eyes widening in surprise. A young woman, with skin as smooth as moonlight and eyes that held the wisdom of ages, stood before him.Before he could react, Havauk's voice echoed through the forest. "Anya, is that you?"
The woman turned, her face lighting up with a warm smile. "Havauk! It's been too long," she replied.
"How are you? We're here to find Raiyu," Havauk explained.
A shadow crossed Anya's face. "I'm afraid this is not a good time. Raiyu is in a terrible mood because of her sister's death."
"We're so sorry to hear that," Lyra offered, her voice filled with sympathy.
Anya nodded, her eyes filled with sadness. "But I wish you luck. She might be able to help you."As she turned to leave, she gave Daniel a knowing smile.
Liam, who had been an amused spectator to the entire exchange, couldn't resist teasing his friend. "So, what's with the smile, Casanova?"
Daniel, his face turning a shade of crimson, stammered, "It's nothing. She was just being polite."
Havauk, sensing the tension, cleared his throat. "We should continue our journey," he suggested.
With a collective nod, the group turned their attention back to the task at hand. Finding Raiyu was their primary objective, and they couldn't afford to be distracted.
As they approached one of the huts, Havauk knocked on the door.
A moment later, the door creaked open, revealing a woman with fiery red hair and piercing blue eyes. She stood in the doorway, her arms crossed, her expression one of irritation.
It was clear that Anya had not exaggerated about Raiyu's mood.As Havauk raised his paw to knock on the door, a gruff voice echoed from within, "No relatives, no charities, just get lost!"
A flicker of amusement crossed Havauk's face. "What about your best friend, Havauk?" he replied, his voice carrying a hint of amusement.
The door creaked open, revealing a woman with short, cropped hair and piercing green eyes.Her expression was stern, her arms crossed defensively.
"Havauk," she said, her voice laced with disbelief. "The door opens only for you, not those humans."
Havauk explained the situation, his voice filled with urgency. He described the cursed stone, the group's perilous journey, and their hope for a solution. Raiyu listened intently, her expression gradually softening as she grasped the gravity of the situation.
When Havauk finished, a long silence enveloped the room. Raiyu's eyes, filled with a mixture of sympathy and determination, finally met their gaze. "Come in," she said, her voice barely audible.
With a sense of relief, the group stepped into the hut. The interior was spartan, but there was a sense of peace and tranquility about the place. A large, wooden desk dominated the room, covered in scrolls and strange artifacts."I know how to break the curse," Raiyu said, her voice filled with a quiet confidence. "But it won't be easy."
A flicker of hope ignited in the hearts of the group. They had come so far, endured so much, and now, there was a chance for redemption.
As they listened to Raiyu's explanation, a sense of anticipation and trepidation filled them. The path ahead would be fraught with danger, but they were determined to see it through.Thanks for reading luvz♥️♥️.Please vote and comment luvzz🌹.....Stay tuned,Will upload soon...♥️🌹💋
