AMAZON RAINFOREST
TIME SET:Present, 2023

EVERYONE IN THE group find themselves now walking through the Amazon Rainforest in search for Druig, following a path along the way. Truth be told, Reyna does feel as though she's at home when she is surrounded by this much of nature. The trees stand tall and grand as they tower high above everything, using their leaves to shield most of the sun from the wildlife that lurks within. Flowers are blossoming in the green bushes, along with berries that can just be easily plucked from their stems and eaten.
Reyna wasn't sure how to feel as she followed them all into an opening, now entering a village. She knew that Druig is the one that's behind all of this, which is exactly why she doesn't know how to feel about it. Druig is probably the last person that she would like to see right now, so him being able to live within an environment that she desires almost makes her feel envious — for some reason, she doesn't. The scenery has changed dramatically since she had last seen it in Tenochtitlan when she stood on the steps in front of him, begging him to stay; it had all been flaming as it burnt to the ground, but now nothing remains that would suggest it was a part of history.
Every single person living within the village appears to be peaceful, a quiet chatter filling the calm air as they all tend to their jobs at hand. Some of them can be seen walking around without a reason to be afraid of others passing them. Everyone appears to be very welcoming to the newcomers, flashing each of them warm smiles while saying greetings as they pass by. However, unlike this setting, large cities alone can cause a single thought to plague someone's mind, filling them with worry for the rest of the day — for example, getting robbed of your money by a random stranger. Along with that, most people tend to mind their own business and not offer many greetings.
"It's very nice here, sir." Karun states with a smile.
"It's beautiful." Reyna adds.
"Don't be fooled." Kingo warns, being cautious of his surroundings. "Ignorance is bliss."
"Estamos buscando a Druig. ¿Está el aquí?" Sprite asks a man nearby. [ "Hey. We're looking for Druig. Is he here?" ]
"Sí. ¿Cómo conoces a Druig?" The man questions. [ "Yes. How do you know Druig?" ]
"Somos amigos de la universidad." Sprite replies, lying. [ "We're friends from college." ]
