Chapter 44
After the meeting with Professor Orion, I went to Athelyn. I took a deep breath, feeling the familiar salty air fill my lungs. She had been here once, but the the beauty of it still captivates her. She pulled out her phone and dialed Stephen’s number, waiting for him to answer.
"Stephen, it’s Remillia. I’m back on Athelyn," I said.
Stephen’s voice came through the phone, his usual calm tone a bit more elevated this time. "Remillia, good to hear from you! I wasn’t expecting you so soon. What’s the plan?"
I smiled. "I’m looking for an agent to help me with this hunt. I need someone with carrying my hunt today."
was a pause on the other end of the line, and Remillia could almost hear Stephen’s wheels turning.
"Of course, I’m always available. When do you need me to meet you?"
Remillia glanced at her watch. It was already getting late, but she knew that Stephen would be worth the wait.
"Now. I’ll be waiting for you at the entrance of Luama Island."
She hung up the phone and began to make her way at the entrance, her eyes scanning the island for any signs of danger. As she walked, she could feel the weight of her weapon and the thrill of adventure building up inside her.
Finally, after what felt like an eternity, she saw Stephen walking towards her, his familiar outfit was the one she noticed first as he approached.
"Remillia," he said, his voice low and shy.
