Elysia made her decision. She pressed her hand against her chest, where the strange energy from the orb now pulsed steadily like a second heartbeat.
"This power… I want to try it at the Elaris Forest," she said.
The housemaid, standing beside her with a look of worry nodded. The seal of power had awakened, and the orb had merged with her spirit.
To keep such strength caged within the walls of the estate would only be dangerous. It had to be tested, honed, and mastered.
No sooner had Elysia absorbed the last shimmering strands of the orb's light, she vanished into the forest.
her body moved as if guided by the energy flowing through her veins.
The Elaris Forest stretched vast and deep beyond the southern ridges.
It was still daytime when sunrise fell upon the forest floor.
After several minutes of traversing its shadowed paths, Elysia stopped in the middle of a big forest.
