– Frey Starlight's POV –
Every passing second brought with it a storm of thoughts ..
a whirlwind of negativity I simply couldn't shake off.
The last time I faced the horrors of the Eastern Nightmare Lands, it took everything I had .. alongside Smiley and Sad .. just to survive.
And now, I wondered...
What kind of challenge awaited me this time?
What kind of threat would be so overwhelming that I was forced to ask others for help?
I was lost in those dark thoughts when the sound of the door creaking open snapped me back to reality.
The young man who entered was instantly recognizable ... white hair and golden eyes that studied me with quiet curiosity.
I could see myself reflected in those clear eyes…
Eyes that mirrored just how desperate I looked.
"Sorry for the delay. It took me a bit to get your message,"
were the first words out of Snow Lionheart's mouth, spoken with his usual serious expression.
I simply waved my hand in dismissal.
