Auden’s Blessing
Of the four young women, two were blonde and two brunettes.
The brunettes both wore their hair in shoulder-length curls, with similar builds—at a glance, they could almost be mistaken for twins.
Leading at the very front was a tall, slender blonde girl.
Though her hair shone brightly, it was cut very short.
Her bare face, trousers, short boots, and agile movements made her look almost like a boy.
Walking at the rear was a girl in a white dress, slightly shorter than the short-haired one.
Her long hair flowed freely, glowing in the night like it was surrounded by countless fireflies—golden, dazzlingly beautiful.
