Elementia: Rise of a Guardian
#2 The Enigmatic Stranger
As they walked, Aria couldn't help but steal glances at Cormac. There was something about him that seemed mysterious, yet intriguing.
Aria
So, Cormac (breaking the silence)
Aria
What makes you think you can help me find Lila's killer?
Cormac's eyes locked onto hers, his gaze piercing.
Cormac
Let's just say I have... connections within the forest. I can help you navigate the treacherous world of the Shadowhand Clan
Thorne cleared his throat, his expression skeptical
Thorne
And what's in it for you, Cormac? Why would you risk getting involved in this?
Cormac's smile was enigmatic
Cormac
Let's just say I have a vested interest in seeing justice served. The Shadowhand Clan has been a thorn in my family's side for far too long
Aria's instincts were still on high alert, but a part of her wanted to trust Cormac. She decided to keep a close eye on him, for now.
As they approached the village, Aria noticed a group of villagers huddled near the town square. They were whispering among themselves, their faces filled with fear.
Aria
What's going on? (her brow furrowed in concern)
Thorne's expression was grim
Thorne
Another body's been found. This one's a young man from the village. The symbol of the Shadowhand Clan was carved into his chest.
Aria's grip on her bow tightened
Aria
This is getting out of hand. We need to find the killer before they strike again
Cormac's eyes seemed to gleam with determination
Cormac
I think I can help with that. Let's investigate the latest crime scene
As they made their way to the crime scene, Aria couldn't shake the feeling that Cormac was hiding something. She decided to keep a close eye on him, and to trust her instincts
