Sunny landed on the very edge of the island and froze there, looking forith a dark expression on his bestial face The others re his unease and tension

The land in front of them seemed tranquil… beautiful, even There was an expanse of vibrant green grass, and some distance away, it made way for the calm waters of a vast lake Its surface was perfectly still and reflective, h a piece of the blue sky above had soentle wind caressed their faces, and nothing broke the peaceful silence except for the rustle of grass and the distant rattling of chains

He gritted his teeth, then growled at her angrily

"Go and try yourself, then!"

The little girl shook her head vigorously

"No, no… no one has ever accused ht for a bit, and then shrugged

"I guess I airl climbed down from Sunny's shoulders, approached the water, and stretched out a hand

"Can I please have the knife, uh… Aunty fro happened Effie rehed and took a step back
