The Warlock's Azalea: The Secret of the Enchanting Stone

-

Leaves and petals of different hues were falling around, and to her, in the middle of it all, was the soft gaze and gentle smile Aziel had for that one pink petal on his palm. The rest of the scenery, with tiger-swan creatures in the sky-lake on the side, were all simply complimenting his existence.

And when his attention veered on his left and towards her, something inside of Keir tightened. It suddenly became hard to breathe.

Why were his eyes expressing so much melancholy?

-

Keir was unbothered by most things in her life. After graduating from university, she thought she'd find a simple career and continue her boring life--until she came face to face with lurkhounds, met a hundred-year-old warlock, and found herself as the means of another dimension's welfare.

What's more, strangely enough, something about this warlock claiming to be the only one of its kind alive today bothers her. Perhaps it's something about the way he talks, his interesting facial expressions, or the combination of the refreshing and elusive scent of flowers he carries.

Can Keir unlock the mystery behind him to quell her pestilent curiosity? Or will her role in retrieving an heirloom serve as another key to a much less anticipated lock?
