As the sun climbed higher in the sky, they prepared to continue their journey.
Zain checked the horses, ensuring they were ready for the next leg of their trip.
Elara gathered their belongings, her movements quick and efficient despite the lingering fatigue.
Eiravyne just kept standing in silence .
"Ready to go?" Zain asked, his voice breaking through her thoughts.
Eiravyne nodded. "Yes, let's keep moving. We need to reach Verdant Vale before nightfall."
They climbed back into the carriage, and with a final glance at the peaceful clearing, Zain urged the horses forward.
The journey ahead was long, but for the first time, Eiravyne felt a glimmer of hope.
As the carriage moved steadily onward, Eiravyne closed her eyes and allowed herself to dream of what lay ahead.
