Chapter 4 - 1st Mission

Raven

"Today, Miss Elara assigned us to groups, and I was introduced to Lily, who's excellent in fighting and hunting. I guess we're a perfect match in terms of ability. At first, I was a bit embarrassed because, opposite to Lily's combat skills, I didn't have any useful skills except for being a shape-shifter.

I realized that maybe I had been too lazy to hone my physical abilities, as shape-shifting takes a lot of energy. That's why my physical skills are lacking."

"Lily is really pretty with her long, curly hair and cat-like eyes. She has a fun personality and no trouble making friends. She's the complete opposite of me."

Lily reminds me a Goddess I met once they are very similar, like a ray of sunshine. Unfortunately that goddess in gone now banished for being too kind.

"Anyway, I was trying to help Lily with flying when I noticed her brow furrowed in a frown as she stared at me. She was really easy to read. I chuckled, finding her very cute and innocent. She seemed confused by my outfit, so I answered her question in a practical manner."

I tried to tease her a little. To lighten the mood and ease some tension, knowing today's mission to retrieve an artifact would require us to fly across the island – a prospect that made her distinctly uncomfortable, given her fear of heights.

I offered her some reassurance, suggesting that I'd carry her in front of me while flying, with my arms securely wrapped around her. "Once you feel more comfortable, you can take the reins and fly on your own," I said. "I'll be right here to guide you through it."

This way, I can convey a sense of safety and support while also encouraging her to face her fears and gain confidence in flying.
