Meanwhile, on the other side of the river.
A crouched silhouette of a person could be seen hiding behind the bushes. The silhouette belongs to none other than Qianna, and she also hid there in purpose to avoid Mirage.
"This is for the best. I'd just be a heavy burden if I were to accompany him on his journey back to his place..." she muttered under her breath.
Qianna, at first wanted to travel alongside Mirage because of the possibility of the curse plaguing her to be cured in his hands, but she also didn't want to become his burden that he needed to protect every time she's in danger.
The unknown curse would often interfere in her way and disrupt her from using the mana energy properly thus this led her to become crippled, unable to use spells as she wished.
