The Path Chosen by Emma
The morning sun filtered through the thick canopy of the forest as Dani and Emma began their journey. Dani looked around, unsure of their destination.
Emma stopped suddenly, her golden eyes turning to meet his. Dani froze as a system notification appeared in his vision:
[Notification: Emma wants you to follow her. Do you accept?]
"What is this?" Dani muttered, staring at the message. He glanced at Emma, who tilted her head slightly, as if waiting for his decision.
After a moment's hesitation, Dani sighed. "Alright, Emma. Lead the way."
The system chimed again:
[Command accepted. Follow Emma.]
Emma turned and began walking deeper into the forest. Dani followed, his curiosity growing with every step.
A Silent Passage
As they moved through the dense forest, Dani couldn't shake the feeling that something was off. The forest, usually teeming with aggressive beasts, was eerily quiet.
It wasn't long before Dani realized why. A group of wolf-like creatures emerged from the shadows, their glowing eyes fixed on him. Dani tensed, ready to defend himself, but to his astonishment, the beasts didn't attack.
Instead, they backed away, their heads lowered in submission.
"What...?" Dani whispered, his heart pounding.
Another system notification appeared:
[Notification: Nearby beasts sense Emma's presence and recognize her superior bloodline. They will not attack unless provoked.]
Dani's gaze shifted to Emma, who continued walking as if nothing had happened. Her calm demeanor was a stark contrast to the reverence displayed by the beasts.
The Power of Bloodline
Dani's mind raced as they continued their journey. He had known Emma was powerful—her Legendary rank was proof enough—but this was something else entirely. Her very presence commanded respect and fear from the creatures of the forest.
"Emma," Dani called out, his voice filled with wonder. "What are you leading me to?"
Emma glanced back at him briefly before continuing forward. Dani could only follow, his thoughts a whirlwind of questions and possibilities.
