Chapter: 685
However, their plan was derailed when they all got drunk instead.
Today, they were determined to carry out their plan.
The aurora was visible from both Shadowlake and Sagecoast.
After Bettie organized a car rental online, they checked out of the hotel and headed for Shadowlake.
Shadowlake is located west of Marblewald. The island experiences two months of Polar Night beginning in November and two months of Polar Day in May.
The Polar Night and Day are natural phenomena that occur inside the polar circles, where the sun remains either below or above the horizon for more than 24 hours.
Therefore, this island was called the island without time.
Due to it being a time-free zone, the locals would go to sleep according to their individual needs. So it wasn't unusual to see the townspeople having coffee with friends on the beach at 2 a.m.
The island had a small population. It boasted many charming wooden houses that Lined the coastline.
After an hour, they crossed a bridge and arrived at Shadowlake.
Despite the Polar Night, it felt more like dusk than the deep and dark nights of Mathias. The environment resembled an evening atmosphere with dim but visible light. Though the sun was absent, the Landscape was not entirely shrouded in darkness.
Snow blanketed the island, creating a serene white expanse. They felt like they had entered a winter wonderland.
Everywhere they Looked, they saw snow-capped mountains
Upon reaching the coastal hotel, they completed the check-in at the Timber House Hotel. With its charming timber facade and expansive windows, the hotel offered a breathtaking ocean view.
Locals claimed that the aurora was visible from the windows.
After unpacking, they eagerly headed to the shore. The vast white beach beckoned, and they frolicked like carefree children. They joyfully captured shots of each other and the charming small log cabins that dotted the area. Completely engrossed in the present, they lost track of time and didn't notice the cold.
Only when they finally paused did they realize it was already two in the afternoon.
They went back to the hotel for Lunch.
Returning to the hotel's restaurant, Sabrina spotted a familiar face as they lined up for food.
She peered closer and exclaimed, "Damon?"
