The temperature dropped drastically after it snowed and the wind howled in the distance, making one shiver in fear because it sounded like a banshee shrieking right in their ears.
But, thanks to the sorcerer’s power, his magic could prevent the two of them from freezing to death.
"Master, are you sure they buried her here?" Letto asked. He was the young boy who was always with the sorcerer. He had been digging this spot for half an hour now and his small body didn’t hold so much strength to keep doing this. The wind hurt his eyes so much.
"Keep digging." Dexter had his eyes fixed on the pit that Letto had dug out from. He didn’t seem to worry that he had made a mistake or pointed to the wrong spot. It seemed he was one hundred percent sure where they had buried her on this mountain.
Because of the crime of committing treason, Aria was not buried inside the Howling Wolf pack’s grave like the other pack members, but she was buried on the mountain with a beautiful view and a small river nearby.
Ethan and Aderan took their time to find this beautiful place and buried her so deep, so the monsters wouldn’t find her body. At the very least, this was the only thing that they could do for her.
This place would look so beautiful when spring came and it would be a perfect place for a free spirit like Aria. She was a radiant and brilliant girl before all of this happened, after all.
"She is not here, Master...!" Letto dropped to his knees and he had a hard time catching his breath. Though it was freezing cold, he was sweating profusely.
Now, he had dug until half of his body was swallowed by the cold ground, but he couldn’t find anything yet. How deep did they bury her?
"Get out of there," Dexter said, as he waved his hand, indicating he would continue with magic.
Letto immediately scrambled his way out of there and stood behind his master. He liked watching from the side whenever the sorcerer used his power, but recently, because the magic stones that he had were running out, he rarely used his powers, unless it was an emergency.
A beam of warm yellow light burst from the ground, where he dug earlier, followed by a cracking sound, as if the ground split into two and then the light became brighter and brighter, until it forced the young boy to shut his eyes and cover them with his arms.
It only lasted for a second, but when Letto put down his arms and looked around him, nothing had changed, except he could now see a woman sitting on the foot of this trench . free𝑤ebnovel.com
"Take her out." Dexter took a step back.
"Huh?" Letto peeked inside the trench and found Aria’s body. She was in a sitting position, still in her white dress, while her face was covered by her long hair.
"Hurry," Dexter said impatiently because this young boy could be so air-headed sometimes.
