Aakifahlynn quickly showered, changed, and went to the lake. She knew she would find the serpentine creature there.
However, she was unprepared for what she saw and later confirmed when she arrived.
Aakifahlynn came upon the sign she'd seen in her previous run. Though she did not take the sign seriously then, now she knew that they were attempting to keep people from venturing in, and it was not because of any hidden treasures of the sort.
She tried to recall the path Raven had run, taking them to the lake. Aakifahlynn quickly chose to call Raven forward as she realised it would take her a while to get there, so she might as well have Raven assist.
As Aakifahlynn approached the lake, her heart raced at the sight of the serpentine creature. Its majestic royal blue form, perched on the bank, filled her with a mix of love, awe and trepidation.
Relief washed over her as she came forward.
