The morning air was crisp and clean.
Visha woke up to the sound of people moving around.
She didn't expect to be able to sleep as deeply as she did. But here she was, with everyone moving around her, and she was the only one still sleeping. She felt a little embarrassed at the situation.
After last night's fight and fun, she didn't expect to see everyone out and about.
She sat up. It seemed they had come from hunting. Willa was playing with Kit and Nimo. Visha smiled.
It seemed like such an ordinary thing, but seeing them going about their lives as if nothing happened showed her the resilience of the people on the Beast Continent. Fighting was both a way of life for them and a matter of survival.
She had been here for six months. The fight with the giant millipede was the first time she had realized that this world was different. Now, with the fight last night, she realized how truly different it was.
