Chapter 138 - The Wanderer’s Respite

The afternoon sun bathed the pebbled road in its warm light. Two dusty travelers hiding behind decrepit, tattered cloaks could be seen walking with a calm, steady pace. They were already half a day away from the city that just a day ago meant the literal hell for them. 

"Where are we going, Drake?" The feminine figure asked his partner. The fiery red tinges of her beautiful, long hair could be seen peeking out under the cover of her baggy hood. Despite the hell, her life must have been, hopeful sparks shined in her eyes as she looked at the male figure to her left.

The other one turned towards the woman. Even though his face was hiding behind the shadowy cover, his voice betrayed him. The calm, love, and affection were clearly visible in his tone as he addressed the scarlet haired woman. He gently grabbed and caressed the unruly tinge of hair that refused to stay hidden as he spoke.
