Time passed by rather quickly.
The sun has risen into the blue sky, shining down on the group as they walk.
Despite the exhaustion that is slowly settling in their weary legs, they haven't stopped for even a moment— no one daring to pause out of fear that Aracelis might catch up with them
Nara made it pretty clear that Aracelis was a skilled tracker among the ten mates, so they continued walking, pushing through the trees until they finally reached the mouth of a large, sprawling human village.
The settlement is situated in a clearing, its rooftops visible past the treeline.
There was no wall to cover the village like Blank's village, making Rukiyo assume that there will be no gate to walk through whatsoever.
Nara huffed, dragging the back of his sleeve across his forehead to wipe away the sweat that gathered there, his face twisting in discomfort as he eyed the village ahead.
