Elementia: Rise of a Guardian
#4 The Midnight Meeting
Aria, Cormac, and Thorne decided to investigate the cryptic message further. They agreed to meet at the old oak tree at midnight, but Aria insisted on going alone, as the message specified.
As the clock struck midnight, Aria made her way to the old oak tree, her heart pounding in her chest. The tree loomed above her, its branches creaking in the wind
Suddenly, a figure emerged from the shadows. It was a woman, her face hidden behind a veil
Aria
Who are you? (her hand on the hilt of her dagger)
The woman didn't respond. Instead, she handed Aria a small package.
Aria
What's this? (her eyes narrowing)
The woman turned and disappeared into the darkness, leaving Aria alone
Aria opened the package, and her eyes widened as she saw a small, intricately carved box inside. The box was adorned with symbols of the Shadowhand Clan
Suddenly, Aria heard a noise behind her. She turned to see Cormac emerging from the shadows
Cormac
I didn't think it was a good idea for you to come here by yourself
Aria
What do you know about the Shadowhand Clan?
Cormac
Let's just say I have my ways of gathering information.
Aria's instincts screamed at her to be cautious. She didn't know what Cormac's true motives were, but she was determined to find out
