5. The Long Adventurous Journey.

 ༻ ♡ ♡ ♡ ༺

"How long....How long must we walk for now!..." Y/n said slightly panting. It was just a few hours since they began their journey but due to how bad the weather was, Y/n was on the verge of passing out.

Alhaitham finally stopped on his track and turned around. "Around Six hours more to go. We aren't even halfway there." 

For a moment Y/n lost the only living consciousness in her. 

"SIX HOURS?" She questioned. 

Alhaitham slightly shrugged. "...And a lot more than hundred kilometers to go.....Hey? Snap out of your thoughts, do you want to rest?" 

Y/n stood there still. Horrified. But her pride refused to agree with Alhaitham's suggestion to rest. That man didn't even show the slightest symptom of exhaustion. Y/n snapped out of her thoughts and shook her head. 

"No, we shouldn't stop or we'll never reach the site."

"You look like your about to collapse any moment. I wouldn't want to have a hospital trip. making such ignorant moves is a complete 'No' to a scribe such as I." The man bluntly said as he saw Y/n walk past him.

"Oh Mr. Alhaitham, if you ever need a break, don't be shy in taking one so!" Y/n forced a smile into her face despite the fact

"Tsk...Whatever you have to say Miss. Y/n" Alhaitham muttered and walked behind Y/n. 

The sun was scorching. It wasn't the desert region but the weather was extremely terrible. This was not the usual Sumeru weather. The road up ahead was so heated up that mirages were visible.

Not barely thirty minutes in and Y/n was literally dragging her foot with the ground. She was sweating from top to bottom. Alhaitham was also seen slightly sweating from his forehead but not as much as Y/n was.

"H-....How much longer..." Y/n muttered loud enough for Alhaitham to hear.

"I thought someone was not keen on taking a rest though I'll have the utmost pleasure in letting you know once again that it's gonna take more than six hours at the speed we are walking." 

"I....I..is it to late....to go back..." 

"Another two hour trip back to the City if you ask me. I'd rather not walk back as the sun's rays would directly hit at your face while walking back all the way around. At least at the moment it's only hitting us from the  back." 

Suddenly there was rustling sound of leaves together. Both Alhaitham and Y/n were startled. They stared at each other for a moment. A dry breeze blew along with some leaves.
