He took his keys from the bowl and looked at James. “See if Adara needs help, I’ll be back.” I followed him to the garage and got into his Navigator when he did. He didn’t say anything as he reversed out and drove down the dirt road and onto the main road. The wheels skidded as he turned onto Lowell Point Road and raced down it.

The king listened intently as Yuvraj continued, "The river Eldrida originates from the majestic Mountains of Kraelion. It flows gently, nourishing the fertile plains and verdant forests, until it reaches the city of Artama, which has long exercised control over the upper streams of the river. "The river Eldrida is the lifeblood of our realm, and has been the cornerstone of our prosperity. Its waters are crystal clear and abundant, irrigating our crops, quenching the thirst of our people, and powering the mills that grind our grain. The river's bounty has also yielded an abundance of fish, which has been a staple of our diet and a source of commerce.

In the end, if we didn’t find success here, we’d find it in Dorcha Azonos. I was giving Azonos three more hours before we moved to the darker regions. The mind-link between the three of us was always on, in case we got any lead, but so far there has been no success but giving up wasn’t an option.

Being one of the most popular water sources, there’s a high chance that the agmarbhs might drink from here.

She stood up, opened her eyes, and bowed respectfully to the waters. "You try first, Lynette, it's quite simple," she advised. Lynette nodded and sat on the snow, following in her mother's footsteps. The wind was strong and a little rough, and their mother's eyes widened as she noticed how bright the glow emitted by Lynette's hair and the water was. 'Sister Lynette's Hanun is brighter than Mama's,' Dove was astounded.

Dana pondered before he eyes lit up and lips curled into a smile. “Water- It can be hot, cold, hard in ice form, soft in liquid state.” She looked at Ben to see if he agreed. Ben shrugged ‘Made sense. He couldn’t think of anything else.’ Dana typed water and hesitated before pressing enter. Ben pressed her finger down on ‘enter’ button gently. Two seconds later, a message came. It read- “Search on banks of the river, the length should not exceed 1 m to left and 1m to the right of your tent’s outer width.

he said, defiant. “Link some of your guys, see what they’re saying,” I said. He nodded. “Greg’s location is empty too, about four miles west of here,” he said, looking deep in thought. “Is that one special,” I asked. “Hell yeah, it overlooks the river and we always, always have that under a minimum of four guards at all times. You could have anyone just come in off a boat, bringing who knows what,” he said. Hmm. Most packs aggressively guarded any water spots near their borders, that was true.
