Chapter 41
A night when the moon is unusually bright.
Redin and Seria headed out together.
They walked into the woods, breathing in the cool air, and stood face to face in a clearing used for training. Seria cleared her throat and gave him a fierce glare.
"Are you ready?"
He gave her a light nod.
"Let's get started.
"Don't forget the terms I gave you."
"I engraved it in my heart."
He thumped his fist on his heart.
The look in Seria's eyes says it's not enough.
"Even if I never master the shadow arts you taught me, I will honor my promise to let you meet your father. You hear me?"
"Okay, come in front of me."
He slowly stepped forward.
In the moonlight, Seria's face grew nearer, and though she tried not to show it, her eyelashes fluttered with nervousness.
He reached out and clapped lightly.
*Clap!*
"What are you waiting for?"
