"You know that at this rate you won't find the Hachi flower, right?" "I know, Gigi! I'm busy trying not to make us fall to our imminent death, okay?!" "Then why can't you cast some floating spell?!" "Because it's against the rules to use more than one spell at once!!!"

The echoes coming from the two of them were loud enough to wake up all the dwellers in the entire Dark Forest. It was a wonder how they had not been found by some hungry creature.

Moving carefully in the foliage, Sebastian carefully stepped over the roots from an old tree, which had miraculously grown at the edge of a cliff. His wand glowed slightly with a light-casting spell, not enough to illuminate enough, but it helped him from knowing where to step to avoid falling down to the dark abysm underneath.

Gigi, his familiar, clawed on his shoulder, her fangs bearing at every shadow she managed to see as her furry body trembled while looking down. "What kind of professor assigned you to find a flower in the middle of nowhere as your final test? They should be fired from college!" ,she hissed, as if Sebastian didn't already know.
