Chapter 49: Night Discussion with Aisha

"I know you're here," Aisha called out, her voice clear and steady.

"I'm not a strong Hero," Aisha said, lowering her sword, her breath visible in the cool night air.

"You are, though," I insisted, shaking my head.

"Not enough," Aisha replied quietly, a note of frustration in her voice.

I activated the Eye of Odin and glanced at her level.
