Paragraph Change

 Decorating the small cabin built beside the house with flowers had been Sariel's hobby since childhood. Based on her hunting experience, Sariel had a vague understanding that beyond the grasslands, there stretched a forest, and further beyond that, there was somehow a town. However, Sariel had no idea how large the presence beyond the forest, leading to the town, might be, and even her father seemed unaware of it. Is it because it is too large that it has even encroached underground? Sariel wanted to know so badly, she couldn't help herself. Sariel tried to suppress those feelings, but it only backfired. With heightened emotions, she completed the preparations for a small adventure. And leaving the matters of the house to her father, Sariel, alone, stepped out and began to walk through the meadow. With each step, something seemed on the verge of leaping out from the belongings she carried, but it was because Sariel's bag was very small. Nevertheless, Sariel treasured that bag dearly and never let it go. Trees became more noticeable around the meadow, and when Sariel happened to check the sky, she could faintly see stars, although not very clearly. And as Sariel approached the forest, despite the darkening sky, she was moved by the various trees adorned with vibrant leaves. The ever-changing appearance of the forest throughout the seasons was wonderfully beautiful, and Sariel had no doubt that whatever lay beyond the town would bring even more awe-inspiring sights.


 Sariel let her mind wander to the distant scenery, inspiring herself. Therefore, Sariel, by forcibly cheering herself up, resolved to overcome the pain in her muscles and firmly determined to etch into her memory the place that would undoubtedly become an unforgettable landscape. Still, for Sariel, moving with sore legs over a long distance is undeniably challenging. If, without stopping in that state, Sariel were to try to pass through the forest, her legs would become even more precarious, and there would be a possibility of losing her life within the forest. However, Sariel, even with increased risks, did not want to stop. Therefore, Sariel hurried ahead.


 However, due to the vastness of the forest, Sariel continued to walk within it for an extended period. Still, there was nothing resembling a path except for the trail created by the beasts, continuing to unsettle Sariel. And then, the path suddenly disappeared, and in its place, Sariel found a hole ahead that she couldn't see into. While Sariel was cautiously advancing to avoid the hole, she happened to notice unusually large footprints near the opening. Overwhelmed by fear, she felt like her voice might escape, but she managed to hold it in by covering her mouth. Sariel trembled with fear and cold, feeling a strong drowsiness. However, she continued to walk until the area with the large footprints was completely out of sight. Once she reached a place where safety could be ensured, she lay down, closed her eyes.


 Sariel reflexively jolted upright at the sound of a branch falling to the ground, quickly fleeing from the spot. Having exited the forest, Sariel entered the town, and near its outskirts, she was warmly welcomed by the townspeople.

Sariel, while appreciating the blessings of the townspeople, gradually came to realize as she continued walking. Beyond the town, there was nothing that heightened the excitement Sariel had imagined. Overwhelmed by the profound sadness, Sariel felt the urge to blame herself out loud.
