As the heat of battle faded and the last embers of flame drifted into the air, we trudged forward in silence, the tracker pulsing faintly in Liris's hand. The desert stretched on endlessly, a sea of gold under the scorching sky.
Suddenly, she broke the quiet.
"Victor… what's your Blessing?"
I stiffened. My instincts immediately flared, every part of me on guard.
"Why the sudden curiosity?" I asked carefully.
She glanced at me over her shoulder, eyes cool but not cold. "You've seen how I fight. I've shown you my strength. If we're going to survive this dungeon together, we need to trust each other. That includes knowing what each of us can really do."
I hesitated, my mind already racing. 'I knew this conversation would come eventually but now? Already?'
I took a slow breath, letting my thoughts collect.
'Blessings…'
