Chapter 47: Hazel’s Fortune

Arthur opened his eyes early the next morning, he had slept by Kira’s side all night. He picked himself up and went into the temple, to find Miko and Jin still asleep, with only Hazel awake. She stood in front of the statue of the woman.

The woman wore a robe, and she held a staff in her hand. Her features, albeit slightly covered by dust and vegetation, were still beautiful. Hazel stood in front of the statue, rooted to the ground, as she stared at it.

“What are you doing?” Arthur asked, and Hazel turned around and looked at him with those sorrowful eyes of hers. He didn’t understand what was wrong, but he couldn’t ask. Maybe it was her trauma, he thought.
