[Flashback - A few hours before Sol entered Forest of Silence]
The sun was about to hide below the mountains, turning the evening into night.
Lumine, the elf slave, was quietly watching the setting sun. The silence reminded me of how I had ignored her once back in the market. Since then she has been giving me a silent treatment.
'Look at this old hag! Just because she is an elf doesn't mean that she can act like a child when she is already over a hundred years old!'
The person sitting opposite to me suddenly turned her head and stared at me. Her voice as she spoke sounded a bit threatening.
"Did you just insult me?"
I blinked slowly and looked out of the window. My back became drenched in cold sweat. How did she know!?
When I didn't answer, Lumine continued to stare at me, or at least that was what I felt she was doing behind that mask. Her heavy accusatory gaze wasn't going to let me go until I answered.
