The eagerly anticipated day had finally arrived, marking the children's departure from the enchanting depths of the forest. Accompanied by the wise guidance of Mujika and Sonju, their journey was about to take a significant turn.
Blessed by the presence of these benevolent Heathens, the children embarked on their journey out of the woods with surprising ease. As they emerged from the dense canopy, they were greeted by a mesmerizing vista – a vast, rocky biome stretching as far as the eye could see. The landscape resembled a desert, though its terrain was predominantly composed of rugged, weathered rocks.
Amidst the stark and seemingly lifeless beauty of this new environment, the children were struck with awe.
"So wide!"
"We're finally at the exit," Emma declared, her voice tinged with relief.
"Keep going south that way and you'll reach your destination," Sonju provided, his voice resonating with quiet authority.
Emma nodded, 'B 06-32 '
Meanwhile, the younger members of the group gathered around Mujika, their farewells tinged with reluctance and a hint of sadness.
"Mujika, I don't want to! I don't want to say goodbye," Alicia's voice was marked with a genuine whine of reluctance.
"Can't you stay with us a little longer?" Mark asked.
Stepping forward, Ray placed a reassuring hand on the heads of the two children, "We can't depend on them. They also have places they have to go, and we need to be able to make it on our own."
"Don't worry." Sonju told them, "As long as you travel in the wasteland, you won't run into any demons. If all goes well, you should be able to see your Mr. Minerva tonight."
Crouching down to their level, the demon offered a comforting smile, "Make sure to stay away from any forests or water. Understood?"
"Y-Yes, sir!" Thoma, Lannion, and Nat saluted with youthful exuberance after Sonju's cautionary words.
"If you do encounter them, run away," Sonju advised as he rose to his feet. "Well then, be careful."
Mujika's embrace enveloped each child individually as she bestowed them with heartfelt wishes for their journey. After bidding their farewells, the other children set off, leaving Mujika to call out to Emma.
Emma turned her attention to the approaching demon girl.
"Yes?"
In a quick stride, Mujika reached out and held Emma's hand, and Emma couldn't help but feel an object within her grasp, sparking her curiosity.
