The old planks of the temple creaked with each step.
Both sisters advanced holding hands, while approaching their destination.
Sköll could notice Hati's hand trembled a bit, it was rare for her sister to show fear, though that made Sköll feel even more determined.
"Are we really going to give them what they want?" Hati asked in a low voice. She preferred to die before her mother's assassins got their way. "Besides, will we even be able to do it?"
The girl lowered her gaze.
Just a moment ago, Sköll had convinced the Assassin Guild members that they couldn't pass with them.
The blonde had said something about "Ki contamination," but it sounded like a made-up story.
Hati knew when her sister was lying.
However, she also knew when Sköll was happy or excited; and right now she seemed to be.
She wagged her tail happily and her ears were raised.
That made Hati feel more secure.
But how was that possible in that situation?
Did Sköll have a plan?
