The Blushing Sleepyhead

Having burnt the corpses, Hui Yue and the group once more followed the road leading towards the capital. Everything which happened gave everyone a new sense of vigilance, and they expected more attacks to follow. While they did not observe every single stone on the road, they viewed any group they met along the way with hostility for they could possibly be enemies.

Walking down the dusty road the group, step by step, inched towards the capital. After six days of traveling, as the sun was setting in the western end of the cave, the city finally came into view in the distance.

Upon seeing the capital, energy sprouted within every member of the group. The capital city had inns, places where they could sleep in a proper bed and bathe in warm water. Although the food was decent on their travels, it could not compare to a good stew cooked by a proper chef.
