Sheeby started whimpering while staring at the giant serpent statue in the middle of the room. Everyone turned around to see what was making her so upset. Lidia was the first to run up and begin petting her to calm her down.
"What's wrong girl? Is the statue really scary?"
"Be careful getting close to it. Last time we read the text off the statue, Lidia was impaled."
Sheeby kept whimpering and covering her face with her wing. Lidia tried to study the statue to see if there was any obvious reason Sheeby was so bothered by it. However, there was nothing that stood out. It just appeared to be an ordinary statue. Lidia walked up to Sarah and put a hand on her shoulder.
"Listen, I know you are strong as you are right now, but if you truly wish to have a chance to become stronger, I think you should be the one to read what the statue says."
Sarah sturdied herself before responding.
