Chapter 203

• As soon as Lohan stepped outside, he started running. Even in human form, he was surprisingly fast. I held the box tightly, afraid of dropping it. I closed my eyes for a moment, letting my companion's warmth heat my body. His heartbeat was like music to my ears.
• The smell of moisture in the air moments later made me open my eyes. I could already hear the sound of water. When we approached the bank of a stream, my companion set me down on the ground.
• I looked closely at his face, which was focused, whispering words in an unknown language. The magical energy emanating from him was overwhelming. I could almost see it coming out of him and entering the water. It was like a beam of white light. Although mysterious and powerful, it was surprisingly warm.
