Kapitel 104: Council examination- Part 4

Seeing that there was no around, Vivian wondered what was the snap sound of twigs she had just heard of. The weather around the council was one of a clear sky. The Sun now hovered above her, rays of light a little harsh as she had gotten used to the rain and clouds of the land of Bonelake.

If it weren't for the trees around her, her skin would have felt the harsh heat of this part of the land. Just as was staring up at the trees she heard another snap sound which made her heart shudder and thump. It was a quiet place so there was no possibility of her imagining things with her mind at ease which felt a little uneasy now.

Chewing her lip, she moved back carefully, one foot at a time until her back hit a tree. Maybe it was the birds, thought Vivian to herself but she hadn't heard even one bird sing since she had arrived here. The trees around almost felt deserted.

Just as she turned, she felt her heart lip in her chest.
