Echoes Beneath the Crimson Sky
"Hey Videl, what are you doing here?" It was obvious to Azriel that Videl was the trigger for the teleportation, so going further wasn't needed.
The wind moved softly between the trees.
Silver Moonlight light filtered through the forest canopy, painting the ground with shifting shadows. Videl had been standing alert until she heard that familiar voice behind her.
Her body froze slightly.
Then she turned.
When Videl heard the familiar voice she looked at her side and was surprised to see Victor smiling while waving his hands casually at her.
For a brief second, relief appeared across her face so naturally that even Azriel noticed it immediately.
But then—
Something felt strange.
Videl's sapphire-blue eyes narrowed slightly.
Victor looked the same.
The same sharp handsome features.
The same black hair.
The same golden eyes.
The same relaxed posture she had memorized over years of being beside him.
Yet…
Something was different.
