The Arcadia Chronicles III: Wood Elf Quest

Seal of Life

Third person's POV

The rescue party continued their travel and they're a day away from the Runa Village. The group, meanwhile, is listening to the rule of a game Sylvia brought up.

Sylvia explained It's like this - if I point upwards, you must look downwards then if I point to the left, you must face right. If you can't do it, you can't defy the natural reactions of a normal person. Liliana said thoughtfully So, basically, you just have to face the opposite direction on where your opponent is pointing.

Sylvia said impressively Yes, that's just it, another rule - you must turn at the same time the opponent points. Janus commented confidently Hmph, that's too easy, it's like a child's play for me. Sylvia's eyes narrowed Eh? You seem pretty confident, how about I challenge you now?

Janus said with a game face Bring it on, Miss! Sylvia asked Are you ready? They stared at each other for a short while then Sylvia flicked a finger upwards, Janus immediately looked down, Kiyan said impressively That looks easy.

Sylvia grinned It's only the beginning, this time I'll make a fool out of you.

She then flicked to the left, which Janus faced right but she immediately flicked down which Janus looked down upon instinct, she pointed to the left and right which he also looked at the direction she's pointing!

Sylvia commented with a sarcastic grin You're looking at where I'm pointing.

Janus, who is quite competitive, said with his face flushing One more time! Janus tried multiple times which the group exploded with laughter everytime he fails and challenges again. 

Kiyan said excitedly I'm next!

While the group, even Valien, is having fun with the little game, Stein observed the smile and laughter of his elder sister I'm glad that she's enjoying.

Athena thought while Kiyan is now being played by Sylvia This warm feeling - I love it, this is what it's like to be with friends.
