Chapter 38 A New Companion

• The dawn broke with a tranquil glow, casting a gentle light over the forest as the team awoke and prepared for the day’s journey. After their recent battle, the atmosphere was lighter, and the camaraderie within the group felt stronger than ever. Ethan and Clara shared a quiet breakfast by the campfire, their conversation a soft murmur against the backdrop of nature's sounds.
