The journey to the lake in the heart of Mount Clementine felt long but was filled with conversation. Virginia glanced at Lyra walking beside her, still looking slightly uneasy after the incident in the misty labyrinth. In a calm tone, she initiated a discussion.
"Lyra, about the spell you used on the mirror earlier, what exactly did you chant?" Virginia asked, her eyes looking straight ahead.
Lyra paused briefly before answering, "It was just a basic spell to channel magical energy into an object. As an arcane sorceress, I might have a natural affinity with the mirror, allowing my energy to activate it. But I don't know much about the lake you mentioned."
Bai Suzhen, walking slightly ahead, turned to face them. "The lake is nestled at the center of this mountain. We discovered it during a previous climb. Its waters are crystal clear, and the scenery is stunning, but it's quite difficult to reach."
