Scaredy-cat

Seth and Aleena kept walking through the underground maze, the green mist around Seth cleansing the corruption on their path. At every junction, Seth would choose to move around the border with the Pain Kingdom, following the trace of incident reports.

“This is not exactly what I had in mind when you invited me for a trip.” exclaimed Aleena suddenly.

“It’s not the most welcoming place, and the view is quite unpleasant, but it does have its charms.”

Aleena looked suspiciously at Seth and asked: “Charms?”

Seth pulled Aleena close and kissed the side of her head. “It allowed us to spend some time together.”

Aleena’s cheeks reddened, and she lowered her head. “But there would have been other places - “

Stopping mid-sentence, Aleena looked to the side and said: “…I think I found something. My energy won’t move past that wall.”
