Even as this was her third time here, Nadia couldn't bring herself to feel comfortable as she navigated the Underworld with caution.
She didn't dare look anywhere but forward even as the glares from the shadows caused goosebumps all over her skin.

No longer aloof, it held a slight hint of care which caused Nadia to feel even more pressured.
Barely suppressing the nervousness within, she remarked. "I have completed the task you gave to me."
Indeed, you have. I can detect the grace of a hidden entity on you, however, it is unlike your sisters. Why is that?
