As the soft morning light filtered through the curtains, Lianna stirred from her slumber, feeling the warmth of Enverna's embrace beside her.
They were spooning. As she shifted slightly, her eyes fluttered open, and she felt a minor pang of disorientation.
Frowning in confusion, Lianna leaned over Enverna, careful not to disturb her peaceful sleep, and her eyes widened as she beheld a familiar sight hovering in the air above them—a System message.
Her heart raced as she read the words displayed before her.
{Prevent the Fall of Garriden on the 30th of December}
{Reward: Heartstrings (Spell)}
Lianna's breath caught in her throat as the weight of the message settled over her like a suffocating blanket.
This was it.
Now, everything they did here had a deadline. The fate of Garriden rested squarely on her shoulders.
