Chapter 98: Long Way
Nely traversed the forest with a heavy heart, the weight of recent loss pressing down on her shoulders.
The towering trees whispered ancient secrets as she walked, their branches swaying gently in the breeze.
As she ventured deeper into the wilderness, the trees gave way to rugged mountains that loomed overhead, their jagged peaks reaching towards the sky like giant sentinels.
Nely pressed on, her determination driving her forward even as uncertainty gnawed at her.
At last, she stumbled upon a hidden oasis nestled within the craggy cliffs, a majestic waterfall cascading down into a crystal-clear pool below.
The sight of it lifted her spirits, and she wasted no time in stripping off her clothes to cleanse herself in the cool, refreshing waters.
Emerging from the waterfall, Nely felt rejuvenated, her skin tingling with newfound energy. Clothes reappeared on her quickly, the fabric clinging to her damp skin, and resumed her journey with renewed vigor.
With practiced ease, she conjured her green Neba Arrow, and a sturdy bow. She wasn't a fan of bows, always hated using it.
As she climbed a nearby tree to set her traps, the forest seemed to come alive around her, the chirping of birds and rustling of leaves providing a comforting backdrop to her solitary task.
Hours passed in patient silence until, finally, her diligence was rewarded. A majestic deer emerged from the underbrush, its graceful form a testament to the beauty of the natural world.
Nely held her breath, her heart pounding in anticipation as she notched her arrow and drew back the bowstring.
