Thump! Thump! Thump!
A series of rapid and loud footsteps resounded, light and brisk, resembling a child playing on sandy ground, trampling and creating cheerful sounds.
Hmm?
A child?!
Aditi's delicate eyebrows slightly furrowed, her face showing a hint of confusion.
This place was desolate with nobody around; the surroundings were all mountains, and wild beasts appeared from time to time. Yakshas and Rakshasas were rarely seen, how could there be a child here?
Swish!
She slowly opened her eyes.
As the faint daylight gradually filled her vision, the sounds of laughter "Hehehehe" reached her ears, and a hazy small figure holding a conch shell, hopped towards her.
The joyful laughter echoed in her ears. A familiar figure ran towards her, then with a snap, the child stopped in place.
For a moment, Aditi was startled.
She gazed intently at the smooth, young figure, tilting her head, her beautiful face filled with bewilderment as she murmured to herself.
"Indra?"
