Chapter 71: 70: The curse of the fish - part 1

“You found the river? I was just coming back to inform you of its location” Suna seriously did not jump as she heard the voice from behind. She had not been taken off guard and if anyone tried to tell you otherwise, then they would be lying.

“Yeah. We could not wait around any longer for you to return. Maria should be resurfacing any second now” Suna did her best not to look at Nao. She felt her face flame every time she looked at the female.

Suna knew she had a crush on Maria, but she had no idea how she felt about Nao. Did she like her? Was it something more? Something deeper? The answer terrified Suna.

“That’s good. So, you recognized what is wrong around us, right? Can you share what you know?” Nao asked as worry shined in her eyes. Nao’s gaze was fixed at the river in front of her where Maria lay in waiting.
