A Hug Heals Everything
82
A magic circle glowed, and four people took shape in the blink of an eye: the General, Arnaldo, Alex, and the mage from the Hunters Association. They were standing in front of a huge mansion.
The General's eyes shone coldly as she stepped forward, the other three following her.
The gate was closed. They looked through it, but there was no sign of anyone waiting for them. Arnaldo rang the bell a few times, but no one came to receive them.
The General gave Arnaldo a look, and he immediately understood what he was supposed to do. He placed his hand on the lock and, with a casual gesture, broke the latch, causing the gate to swing open.
"Let's go."
They all followed in the General's footsteps, their perceptions spreading and covering the surrounding area.
"Strange. There doesn't seem to be anyone here. I thought we'd be attacked the moment we set foot here," Arnaldo said, looking at the beautiful garden filled with exotic flowers.
