Heart Flame

After packing her final necessities, Laina was ready to go. Since she was heading for the Temple of the Sun, Nyx was chosen to go with her. Thorne traveled with them too. Laina did not pay him a lot of attention. 

His resemblance to Dante had thrown her off from time to time. It almost unsettled her that they looked so similar. She had considered asking him to change his appearance, but she deemed it to be rude for her to ask. 

Thorne rarely spoke unless spoken to. As such, Laina often forgot that he was even there. 

The Oracle sent a unique mode of transport to pick them up. 

As they stood waiting for the pickup, Laina looked from side to side. None of them knew what to expect. It quickly became clear it was going to be a unique ride. Laina was the first to catch a distinct sign in the distance.

"What was that?" she muttered beneath her breath as she looked around, hoping to find the source of the voice.
