Silence reigned among the young people, broken only by the rustling of flowers in the wind.
Despite the seemingly peaceful environment, everyone remained alert, attentive to the slightest sign of danger.
Leaning against the tree trunk, Aphir felt something strange. Her gaze was drawn to the horizon, where a blue dot shone 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 muttered something about getting some more rest.
"See what? The horizon?" Jhin asked, without much interest.
"Don't joke, I'm serious!" Aphir insisted, 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."
"Maybe it was the effect of your previous ability. The heat went to your head," Jhin teased, chuckling softly.
