Chapter 59 Hidden Fires

• Theme: Desire and Intrigue
• Aria’s POV
• The trees started whispering secrets in the mild wind when I was patrolling the fringes of the woodland at dusk. Rustling leaves and the distant calls of nightbirds were among the regular natural sounds that filled the air, but something special grabbed my attention. I observed a figure in a deep shadowy location close to a stand of old trees. Even though he was partially disguised and blended in with the shadows, I couldn't help but notice the light in his eyes.
