Chapitre 116: Aurora
Lyra decided to head to the lab alone, something she usually wouldn't do without telling Dante. But today, her thoughts were so filled with their project that she didn't wait. When she opened the lab door, she was happy to see it was empty. She could start working right away without anyone bothering her. But her peace didn't last long.
Just as she was about to close the door, two small, round creatures rolled in front of her. They spoke together, their voices mixing strangely.
"Look at those boring clothes!" one said.
"Couldn't you dress better?" the other added, pointing at her outfit.
Lyra was not in the mood for this. "Enough!" she shouted. The creatures backed away, their round bodies shaking a bit.
"Who are you?" Lyra asked, her patience running low.
"I'm Pixie," said the one in front, flipping over.
"And I'm Trixie!" said the other, doing the same.
They kept teasing her about her clothes, spinning around her. Lyra's annoyance grew, and she quickly ran away, losing them by turning through the hallways. She wished she had waited for Dante; he usually kept such annoyances away.
Lyra reached her favorite hallway, hoping to relax a bit. But as she walked out, she stopped. A woman with cold blue eyes and long, light blue hair stood there. She wore a beautiful sapphire necklace that sparkled in the dim light.
"I haven't seen you before," the woman said, her voice cold. "Who are you?"
Lyra, still upset from her encounter with Pixie and Trixie, hesitated. "I-I'm part of Dante's alchemy team," she managed to say.
The woman looked at her for a moment and then nodded, stepping aside. "I'm Aurora. You seem to be working on something important with Dante. He's told me about your new potion."
Lyra was surprised. Aurora, the Ice Vampire, was a name known to everyone, often spoken in whispers.
"Yes, Dante and I are trying to create a special potion," Lyra said carefully, not wanting to share too much.
Aurora moved closer, her chilly presence surrounding Lyra. "You don't need to tell me more. I'm just curious about what new people are doing here."
Lyra nodded, feeling the intensity of Aurora's gaze. "Dante's been a big help. We couldn't do it without his ideas."
"That's good to hear," Aurora said, a small smile on her face. "Well, I won't keep you. We might meet again, Lyra."
With that, Aurora left. Lyra watched her go, then hurried into the lab. The meeting had left her a mix of excited and nervous. She knew she had to focus on the potion, aware that both Dante's and now Aurora's expectations were on her shoulders. With a deep breath, she got to work.
