"Where are they?" Devy muttered under her breath as she continued to search for the traces of Jogo and Rudi.
She sharpened her magical senses and activated her detection skill, but not even the faintest ripple responded to her efforts.

The night air was cold enough to sting against the skin, every breath she exhaled blooming into a pale mist that vanished almost instantly. A thin fog was beginning to creep along the ground, swallowing the roots of ancient trees that jutted upward like the twisted arms of long-forgotten giants.
Devy pressed both of her palms together, summoning her power.
