The wind was still as she used the communication stone.
The stones come in pairs, so, you can only contact the person who hilds the other stone.
The air was heavy and a tinggg rang on the back of her head.
Even the leaves had stopped rustling as if the forest itself held its breath.
She was feeling suffocated with guilty consciousness, that seemed to slip away rather than to talk.
Lina sat alone on a fallen tree, the magic communication stone cold in her palm.
She hadn't moved in several minutes.
She couldn't move at all, she was like a statue.
In her hand, the magic stone pulsed once. Dim blue light, like a heartbeat.
Her heart started to beat slower.
Her mind? It was like a storm.
Why am I hesitating?
I don't know how to even infuse the mana into the stone.
My consciousness feels heavy as if I have sinned.
I am scared... Too scared to even talk.
Am I the one who is at fault?
She asked herself.
You stopped choosing me. So I stopped waiting.
