Chapter 74 Aleshia's side
Aleshia watched as Lucia finally noticed her location and silently celebrated, "Yes, FINALLY! Lucia's awake." But as she was celebrating, the worst possible thing that could happen occurred. An interloper appeared. "Wait, no, no, no! Why is a wolf next to her now!?" Aleshia complained. While she was complaining about the interloper, the wolf whisked Lucia away from the tree. Aleshia had just watched as her only ally was whisked away right in front of her, albeit from very far away.
Aleshia slammed her fist on the ground with a small thud. The noise did not travel far, as she had already taken precautions by putting up a water barrier around herself in case anything surprised her and caused her to reveal her position. After grumbling a bit, Aleshia finally decided to wait a little longer for their reunion. Until then, she would have to wait and watch. Aleshia watched Lucia from afar, observing her antics. It was something that passed the time, so Aleshia watched closely. As Aleshia observed the witch hat interacting with the wolf, she sensed a sudden, strange urgency in Lucia's body language. Aleshia could tell, despite Lucia's form being that of a witch hat. After all, she had been together with it for a few months.
When the two left the shaded tree, Aleshia left her position and silently followed behind them, keeping a distance. After a while, she finally caught sight of them again. The figures before her were shrouded in a mysterious, almost ethereal veil, distorting their figures and creating a shattered effect. "That's strange," Aleshia remarked. She was staring at the place where the wolf and witch hat were. Her view was reminiscent of the fractured white world she and Kailey had encountered. As Aleshia was reminiscing, the wolf stepped forward, deeper into the peculiar zone, and unleashed what she could tell was its aura or a display of dominance.
The force from the aura disrupted her senses for a moment. When she regained consciousness, she finally noticed an intrusive energy or a sense of oddness in the air. Intuitively, she knew the strange feeling would be stronger beyond the strange distorting haze. While she was experiencing this odd feeling, things below were progressing. Lucia seemed to have an epiphany about something and was energetically jumping around. Aleshia saw a faint, ethereal glow materialize next to the witch hat, giving the impression of otherworldly magic at work. Meanwhile, the wolf stood transfixed, its gaze locked onto something in the distance with an unwavering focus.
