141: Being Watched- Part 3

Seraphina clenched her fists, nails digging into her palms. She had gone through great trouble to get Auriel here under false pretenses, but now that the goddess was lingering of her own free will, it unsettled her.

Why? What did Auriel want?

Seraphina couldn't take the risk of letting the goddess move freely. If she started prying too much, things would become complicated.

So Seraphina decided to take matters into her own hands.

That night, while Auriel was sleeping, Seraphina wove a spell around her.

It was subtle—light as a whisper, gentle as a breeze. A tracking spell.

She wouldn't stop Auriel from moving around, but she would always know where she was.

The spell would let Seraphina sense any shift in Auriel's location, ensuring that she was never caught off guard.

Satisfied, Seraphina stepped away from Auriel's sleeping form and left the room.

She had no idea that Auriel had been awake the entire time.
