[Quiescent] The Lurking Shadows

--

"Oh, it's up ahead," Seiya informed with an indifferent look, not worrying about the presence of those spirit twins they were wary of.

The repetitive shouts and retorts between Keita and Mizuki had ceased to an end a few seconds ago. It was quite tranquil until Seiya voiced out the sight of the whirlpool just trees ahead of them.

"Are those two still there?" Mizuki questioned no one in particular, looking left to right to make sure that the pair of females weren't there. It wasn't that she wanted to see them-- but rather, she was half-expecting them to wait.

After all, they couldn't be sure whether their blind theory could be proven or not.

Several pairs of eyes travelled around the vicinity in check of the two sceptical twins. No signs of them were left. Their breaths went unheard and the trails of their footsteps went unseen by others. None was there-- only the torch and its pursuers.
