Serena was mad at Hugh and Joy for the fact that they did not imdiately follow her into the unknown. If enemies were waiting for her on the other side, she coke have been forced to fight it alone.
Serena crossed her arms and moved her head away from the two of them. She did not want to look at the two.
"Sorry about that," Jane realized her mistake. Throughout their journey, she had gotten close with Serena.
"Yeah. Sorry, we're late," Hugh said while following Jane's actions.
although Serena would like to get angrier at them, she did not have the ti to do so. They were currently at an unknown location that may be dangerous, so it was not the place to be angry.
Serena cursed her feelings and faced Hugh and Jane with a smile.
"Whatever, forget it," Serena waved her hand around it like it was nothing.
*cough*
Then, everyone stopped as they realized that soone coughed. When they saw that it was just Aric, they stopped being wary.
"Let's go. Don't waste your ti standing around like this," Aric said as he got a little bit angry waiting for them.
Aric's eyes were almost filled with glee at the prospect of investigating the fallen palace. It gave him much pleasure to rediscover this little piece of history.
"Let's wait for Miser and Darren," Serena said as she looked back at where they ca from.
"They can't. For so reason, they can't see us," Hugh said.
"What do you an?"
"Before we entered this pace, we were trapped and we couldn't communicate with them. We could see them, but we couldn't see us," Jane explained.
With that explanation, Serena now understood why both of them stayed behind.
"Have you guys found an exit yet?" Hugh asked as he looked around the place.
Serena shook her head. She was just as clueless as everyone about their current whereabouts. It did not seem like they were underground, more like they were teleported.
"We must find a way out, fast. This did not seem like where they kidnapped Mia too," Hugh said.
With the stakes high, the group focused their efforts on exploring the place. They continued down the hallway until they got to the do.
Once there, they were surprised to see a big do that was almost empty. However, when they stepped inside, their footsteps echoed throughout the room.
*stepstepstep*
They entered the doom and looked around. There did not seem to be any decorations in this do except for the paintings on the ceilings.
The paintings in the ceiling were in exquisite condition compared to the ones they saw outside. It still had good pignt and only a few parts had cracked.
They all observed the wonders of this painting. It depicted a harmonious living in a civilization where there did not seem to be any conflict.
There were depictions of won and children singing to their heart's content, n discussing the philosophies of life, and many more eating a piece of fruit.
It truly did seem like they were living in a utopia. However, it did not last as this was the only remnant left in this place.
Hugh wondered what had happened to such a civilization to be like this. He wondered if it had sothing to do with the angels they had seen earlier in the paintings.
As they walked and observed the paintings above, Serena was surprised to see pillars right in the middle of the do.
"Where did these co from?" Serena blurted out as she observed the pillars.
She was sure that these pillars were not there when they had entered the room. It must have appeared by itself when they were all looking at the painting in the ceiling.
Hearing Serena's remarks, Hugh was also surprised to see the pillars.
From what they could see, the pillars served as sothing like a holder for five objects.
These five objects stood displayed on top of the pillars. One of them was an apple, a flute, a perfu bottle, a blue rose, and a strange gooey substance.
The pillars were positioned in a pentagram in the middle of the do-like it was the main attraction. Of course, the group's curiosity was intrigued.
The first to approach the pillars were Serena and Aric. They almost seed fearless in the face of the unknown. Serena looked at the perfu bottle, and Aric looked at the blue rose.
Once they were close enough, they could see that the objects were encased in a glass container. Gathering her courage, Serena poked the container.
Seeing that nothing had happened, Serena got bolder and bolder as she tried to pull the container away. However, she could not make it budge.
Feeling frustrated, Serena used her pink smoke Desire to enhance her physical strength.
With her strength, she once again challenged the integrity of the glass box containing the perfu.
Expecting it to be heavy, Serena used all of her strength. However, as soon as his hands touched the glass, it felt like it was weightless.
She was caught off guard by its weightlessness that she almost lost balance. She now had the glass box in her hand, revealing the perfu to the air.
However, once the perfu was chosen, the other pillars imdiately sink to the ground. It was way too fast for anyone to react.
The only pillar left standing was the perfu that Serena chose.
If she had known that this would happen, she would not have done it. She may have done sothing irreversible at this rate.
"Sorry, didn't an to do that."
Hugh and Jane were okay with it, but Aric was a little bit salty about it. He was particularly interested in the blue rose, but now, it was gone from his sights.
"My rose!" Aric exclaid.
"What's that?" Jane said as she changed the subject. She pointed at the perfu bottle as if she was truly enamored by it.
Since it was already done and over with, they had no choice but to deal with the consequences.
Serena picked up the perfu without any warning and inspected it. The two cautious people in the group, naly Hugh and Jane, were caught off guard and backed away from Serena.
If sothing bad happened, they did not want to be in the infected radius.
Serena continued to inspect the perfu bottle as if it was a normal object that she bought from the departnt store.
The perfu was old-fashioned as the trigger for the perfu was a ball that had to be squeezed. It was a piece of product not seen in a long ti.
Feeling more and more curious about the perfu, Serena put her nose closer to the perfu to try and sll it.
Jane wanted to stop Serena from being careless, but she already did it anyway. Thankfully enough, nothing seed to have happened.
"So? How is it?" Hugh asked.
Serena had a confused look as she turned the perfu upside down to expect it. She could not figure out what the perfu was supposed to be.
Seeing that the perfu ca from a mysterious pillar, it was safe to assu that it was not a normal object.
Seeing how careless Serena was handling the perfu, Hugh could not help but comnt on it.
"Be careful with that!"
Serena heard Hugh's comnt, and she could not help but scoff at him.
"Oh, be more relaxed would you?" Serena said as she pointed the perfu directly at him and sprayed him with it.
With one squeeze, the perfu bottle squeezed out its particles and sprayed it directly on Hugh. Unfortunately for Hugh, it was hit point-blank and he could not dodge it.
Slling the fragrance of the perfu, he knew then and there that he was dood.
They did not know anything about the perfu, and Serena had just tested it on him. If it was poison, then he would die without even knowing what it was.
"Serena! Why did you do that! You should have been more," Hugh shouted out. However, as his words continued, he got less and less annoyed.
"You should haveyou should havewhatever," Hugh said as he completely turned away from being angry to being indifferent.
With that, Hugh suddenly plopped to the ground and breathed in the air. He seed to be at peace with what happened.
"Hugh, are you okay?" Serena said, being a little guilty of doing sothing to Hugh.
Hugh just nodded nonchalantly and waved Serena off. He seed to be enjoying his ti Just sit on the ground and wait for ti to pass by.
"Hugh! This is not the ti to laze around," Serena said as she tried to pull Hugh off the ground.
Serena still did not fill the puzzles of what happened to Hugh, but Jane got an idea.
"Hugh, does it feel good to relax?" Jane asked.
"Yeah! It feels great!" Hugh answered with glee on his face.
Jane nodded her head as if she understood sothing.
"It's the perfu!" Jane shouted.
