Chapter 144 Nymeria

• To our right, the river flowed, its waters shimmering in the morning light. The path ahead stretched long and winding, descending the hill in a gentle slope. Thankfully, it wasn’t too steep, but the journey ahead still felt difficult.
• With every step, I could still feel the pulse of Dominic’s hand lingering on my skin, a reminder of the hunger I couldn’t quite shake off, a hunger that wasn’t just mine.
• Together, we managed to descend the cliff, our bodies aching from the struggle as we finally found a way into the dark, abandoned city below. What should have been a scenic place with cobbled streets and charming stone buildings now felt like a forgotten graveyard. Silence reigned over the streets, so unnatural it felt as though the entire city was holding its breath. What was once vibrant and alive was now a shell of itself, as if the people who once filled the streets were too terrified to leave their homes. A sense of dread hung in the air, thick and suffocating.
