"W-who are you?" she stammered, slowly backing away from the entity.
Although the entity caused her to feel safe, she was on high alert, especially after her encounter with Saxhish. For all she knew, this might be a trap or some magic spell conjured by Saxhish or, worse, the Dark Lord. She quickly scanned her surroundings, but nothing about it was suspicious.
'No, this entity could provide this kind of surrounding to throw me off, so let's not get too comfortable. Activate your fight or flight mode and fight like your life depends on it if this entity attempts to harm you, Astoria.'
"Do not be so uneasy, my child," the entity expressed.
Suddenly, the flock of colourful birds flew to the ground, and, gradually, a curvaceous figure materialised. The figure appeared as shiny as a new pin and as elegant as a swan. It was a woman. She further seemed as innocent as a dove but, at the same time, as dangerous as the foamy race of ocean surges.
