Mira remained hidden in the small alcove as the night grew deeper and sighed at her own foolishness...
The more she wanted to see Aron, the more she had thought of some other places to hide.
Because for the first time in her life, she was hiding from Aron who always knew where to find her. Thankfully, he didn't know of this place.
She did not like this feeling of having to avoid her best friend and mentor, but she was too shy to walk to him on her own. Master had already told her what would happen next, and that was exactly what made her pull back now. She needed some time.
She hugged the small pillow she had brought with her and snuggled deeper into the warm coarse blanket she had brought with her, trying to make herself feel secure. The shining butterflies she had created with her magic drifted around the narrow space, their soft glow making it impossible for her to feel too fearful of the darkness. She let out another slow sigh.
