Chapter 78 Mysterious Girl

the cabin's presence in this desolate cave was an anomaly, a puzzle piece that didn't fit the grim landscape. william, his senses heightened, approached with caution, his footsteps barely disturbing the dust that coated the warped floorboards. he circled the cabin, peering through the grimy windows,

the woman studied him with a curious gaze, her fiery eyes softening slightly. "you should warm yourself," she said, her voice surprisingly gentle. "you're freezing. come here."

he obeyed, his heart pounding in his chest. he couldn't afford to anger this woman, whose power dwarfed his own. she pulled him into an unexpected embrace, her warmth enveloping him. william's cheeks flushed, his body stiff with surprise.

with a subtle gesture, she channeled her fire magic, drying his clothes and warming him to the core. then, her nose wrinkled slightly.

"you have a fish in your pocket," she observed, a hint of amusement in her voice. "it's rather pungent."

william, embarrassed, nodded sheepishly. "yes, i know," he admitted. "i apologize. i didn't mean to intrude. i was fleeing from those necromancers and stumbled upon your cabin by accident."

the woman leaned closer, inhaling deeply, her action both unexpected and strangely intimate. "it's alright," she said, her voice softening. "you have a familiar scent. i'm not angry. you may stay here for a while if you need to, but not too long. i'm quite tired." she yawned, her fiery eyes flickering with a hint of exhaustion. "i'll be returning to my slumber now."

before she reached the bed, william asked, "can you help me get out of here? i don't even know where i am..."

she stopped her movements, staying there in a thoughtful state for a few seconds before turning around to face him.

"maybe i can help. let's talk."
