Hyuuga, the Ghost Town Part 2

As I reveled in my sleep, I felt taps on my face. For a moment, I thought it was just my imagination, until the taps grew stronger.

"Get up, Uths! We need to continue the journey; maybe we’ll even reach the city today."

As I opened my eyes, I saw Larry standing over me, giving gentle taps on my face.

"What time is it?"

Still completely groggy, I began to sit up slowly.

"It must be around seven in the morning. The day is just starting now. We’ve already prepared the horses, including yours."

I looked around and saw that Larry wasn't joking. Lawrie was already on his horse, adjusting the reins, and Vectra was a little further away, near a tree, finishing tying the bags on the back of his horse.

"You guys really don’t waste any time, huh?"

I fully stood up, stretching my body, feeling the stiffness in my muscles caused by the uncomfortable night on the ground.
