A Mystery

The warmth of morning light filtered through the curtains, gently pulling me from the depths of sleep. My body ached with exhaustion from the night before, but there was no time to linger in bed. I sat up, stretching as I glanced at Lila, who was still wrapped in the sheets, breathing softly in slumber.

Shaking off the drowsiness, I dressed quickly and made my way downstairs for breakfast. The food replenished my strength, and after a final check of my gear, I stepped outside, where Tempest awaited. The great storm beast stood tall, his electric-blue eyes crackling with raw energy. He was at his full potential today—perfect for the journey ahead.

"Let's move." I patted his side before checking my mana reserves. 80%. Not bad, but not enough.
