Chapter 19 Under The Moonlight

• The team pressed on into the night, their victory over Lucas and his men a hard-earned but temporary reprieve. The moon cast an eerie glow over the rugged landscape, and the shadows seemed to stretch and twist with every passing moment. Clara led the way with an unwavering focus, her mind still buzzing with the intensity of their recent encounter.
• Ethan walked beside her, his concern for Clara evident despite his attempt to mask it with a casual demeanor. “You’re pushing yourself too hard, Clara. We should find a safe place to rest and regroup.”
• Clara shook her head, her determination unshaken. “We need to keep moving. The sooner we reach our destination, the better. I don’t want to give Marcus or Lucas a chance to catch up.”
