A little while later, each of them was walking deep through the forest, Aiysha having already marked a place where those other three women would meet.
The deal was quite simple.
Meet up, three people from each group, and then exchange information. Luckily, those three women decided to agree. They were one of the most notorious first-year girl musketeer trios after all, so it made sense.
Aiysha, on the other hand, declared that she only needed herself.
Both sides agreed, and that was how the deal finally came to fruition.
…
Ten minutes later, they were still walking. No beasts decided to appear from the bushes, quite fortunately.
Aiysha went to walk side by side with Cassien while Siv stayed in front, afraid and contemplating his future decision.
"You're a monster," she whispered. "A risk-taker."
Cassien looked at her seriously. "I know, but I must win."
She sighed. "You keep giving that same response."
