Chapter 48 - The Disguised Threat

As the dawn broke, the group was met with an unexpected sight. A woman, breathtakingly beautiful, emerged from the shadows. She claimed to be a fairy from a lost world, her eyes filled with an innocent fear.

The group, despite their initial unease, couldn't help but feel a sense of sympathy. She seemed lost, scared, and alone. They offered her their protection, their companionship. They were the protectors of Lumina, after all.

But Marco, he saw something else. Behind the beautiful face, he saw a demonic beast, its grin chilling, its eyes predatory. He felt a fear he had never felt before, a fear of a being capable of killing him.

But he said nothing. He was paralyzed by fear, and a sense of doubt. Would the others believe him? Could he trust his own eyes?

As they welcomed the woman into their group, oblivious to the danger lurking behind her beautiful façade, Marco watched in silence. The enemy had revealed herself, but they were blind to the threat. And Marco, he was left alone with his fear, his knowledge.
