Chapitre 235: Moonlit Beach

Just like the nights before, Laina was in the study by lamplight flipping through books in hopes of finding more information about the Altar of the Sun. Florin and Kol had returned with the items she had asked for. They set up a space in the basement, only accessible by a secret passageway hidden behind a false wall. 

Excited to begin, she had made her first attempt at making the pill. But it did not turn out as she had hoped for. So Laina returned to the drawing board, hoping to find more information before making her second attempt. 

It was beginning to look like another quiet night of reading when Laina noticed a flash of light from the beach. Laina was surprised, since it was pitch black outside, apart from a few lit lamps. Florin, who accompanied her this night, noticed the flash of light too. 

He immediately went over to the window and peered out of it. With his ability to see the dark, he had a better chance of seeing what happened outside.
