Chapter 19 - 19 Heavy rain
As the rain started pouring down, the streets quickly emptied and shops began to close their doors. Lucas and kyra sought refuge under the shelter of a nearby shop.
"Phew! I had no idea it was going to rain today," Lucas muttered.
Within seconds, both Lucas and Kyra found themselves half-soaked as the heavy rain continued to fall. Kyra, noticing Lucas's dismayed expression, asked hopefully, "Do you think it will stop soon?"
"Nope! You see, once it starts raining here, it doesn't stop anytime soon," Lucas replied, pouting. "And let me tell you, it's not just any rain, it's so heavy that the river rises every single time it pours."
Kyra raised her eyebrows and inquired, her long hair feeling heavy against her wet skin. She pushed stray strands behind her ear and asked, "Is there no inn or any place we can take shelter?"
"Nope! There are no inns in the market. If we want to find shelter, we'll have to seek refuge with a neighboring tribe." Lucas explained.
"But we can't just wait here, can we? Look, the environment is already darkening," Kyra pointed out.
Indeed, the rain was so heavy that everything appeared foggy and dark.
"You're right. We should leave," Lucas agreed.
