Chapter 36: Knowing each other
As the train moved forward, a heavy silence filled the cabin. It was so quiet that Shaan could hear the wheels grinding against the railway tracks. The three of them didn’t exchange a single word, each lost in their thoughts.
Chelsie sat by the window, gazing outside in silence. Across from her, Nalira sat with her arms folded, saying nothing. And Shaan, who happened to be near their seats, finally gathered the courage to approach them.
"While we’re here, how about we get to know each other by introducing ourselves and each other’s daemons as well as the special abilities we’ve acquired."
"That sounds like a good idea," Chelsie said with a nod. "It would help us when we face the creatures of darkness out there. What do you think, Lira?"
"Yes."
"Then, I’ll start the introductions first," Shaan said with sincerity and confidence. "My name is Shaan Devansh. I have a Daemon named Robin Hood who is the enigma of Honesty. As of now, I still haven’t discovered my special ability—at least, not yet."
"Robin Hood..." Nalira nodded her head. "Prince of Thieves?"
"That’s right. That nickname does belong to Robin Hood."
"Alright. I understand."
"Okay, then it’s my turn," Chelsie began. "My name is Chelsie Vireline. You can call me Elsie, and I have a daemon named Carmen. Carmen is one of the enigmas of the Charity class, and she is a Daemon who cares about me a lot." She smiled. "As you know, you must already be familiar with my special power, but I’ll explain it once more. My special power is healing. I can heal all kinds of wounds by using my mana."
