Knowing they had to be inconspicuous, Seraphina looked at Delphine with a determined expression to explain her the situation.
"Delphine, we must hide our true selves as we pass through the gates" Seraphina whispered, her voice tinged with urgency.
"I can perform a spell to make us look old with white hair, but we must be cautious with our use of magick. It's forbidden unless it's officially allowed."
Delphine nodded, understanding the gravity of the situation.
She knew that revealing their true identities could endanger their mission and the entire resistance.
Trusting Seraphina's expertise, she allowed herself to be enveloped in the shimmering glow of Seraphina's spell.
With a flash of energy, their appearances transformed.
Delphine now sported flowing white hair, her once youthful features aged, and a few wrinkles adorned her face.
Seraphina had adopted a similar guise, appearing as an older, wise mermaid.
