Silence reigned among the young people, broken only by the rustling of flowers in the wind. Despite the seemingly peaceful environment, everyone remained alert, alert for the slightest signs of danger.
Aphir, leaning against the tree trunk, felt something strange. Her gaze was drawn to the horizon, where a blue spot shimmered against the sky. She squinted, trying to identify what it was, but the sight seemed almost unreal.
"Jhin... Alrik..." she said, her voice hesitant. "Do you... see that?"
Jhin looked up lazily, while Alrik mumbled something about getting some more rest.
"See what? The horizon?" Jhin asked, without much interest.
"Don't joke, I'm serious!" insisted Aphir, pointing with his finger.
The two looked in the indicated direction, but at first they noticed nothing but the open sky. Alrik laughed. "Aphir, you're seeing things. Relax a bit."
