Chapter 13 Thirteen

• As night descended upon the forest, the weary soldiers trudged on, their steps growing heavier with each passing hour. Asahi, their leader, raised his hand to signal a halt, his voice cutting through the quiet night.
• "Find your places nearby to rest," he commanded, his tone firm but not unkind. "We've been on the move for ten hours. Rest is crucial for what lies ahead."
• Levi, Stefano, Feli, Joe, and Sagittarius quickly found a spot to settle down, their tired bodies grateful for the chance to rest. As they made themselves comfortable, Feli reached into his pack and pulled out a bundle of hot, sweet potatoes that his wife had prepared for the journey. The aroma of the roasted potatoes filled the air, offering a comforting reprieve from the day's trials.
