Chapter 168 AURORA The air outside was thick as if the forest were holding its breath .

I stood at the edge of the clearing , staring into the dense thicket of trees .

I had come out to get some fresh air and hopefully clear my mind .

The darkness stretched out like fingers beckoning me into it .

I hadnt gone through these forest paths before , but I had done so in the dream .

Luna ? Evelyns voice cut through the fogginess in my head .

I turned and watched her approach me purposefully as her gold hair shone in the dim light of the moon .

I had summoned her before I came out .

Shes wearing light battle armor , she also has a sword strapped behind her back , its hilt shining in the dim light .

And each time , I find myself drawing closer .

Evelyn gave me a sidelong glance .

You think its the goddess ? I dont know , I said , my voice catching as my fingers brushed the pearl pendant lying at my throat .

Its magic hummed softly , a constant reminder of what I was capable of , and what Id already paid .
