Sariel enjoyed observing animals, and often, as a result, she would catch them.

For Sariel, animals were subjects of play and companions.



2024/2/25 Lines 1-3 of the first paragraph


But, Sariel believed that, in addition to the animals she had caught, there were small creatures of mythical existence.

But, Sariel gradually began to think that there might be undiscovered animals hiding somewhere.



2024/2/26 Lines 2-4 of the first paragraph

Having checked the comfort of her steps, Sariel, singing a tune under her breath, proceeded little by little, step by step, moving forward.

2024/3/8 Lines 9-10 of the second paragraph

And gradually, the path began to transform into a narrow and rough stone pathway.



2024/3/8 Lines 10-11 of the second paragraph


It was an area where not only humans but even animals seldom walked, so there was no way around it.

It was her own wish.

At least, if Sariel turn back now, there will be no more time wasted.

But, there is no guarantee that it will necessarily come to fruition.



2024/3/30 Lines 18-19 of the third paragraph


However, Sariel did not change her own will. She did not doubt it.

However, more than anyone else, Sariel believed in herself.



2024/4/2 Lines 21-22 of the fourth paragraph

As a result, Sariel ended up with minor injuries.



2024/4/3 Lines 22-23 of the fourth paragraph

Undeterred, she continued to move forward and discovered signs of an incident that had occurred in that location.

She felt an irresistible urge to touch it but, considering the consequences, she withdrew her hand.



2024/4/10 Lines 25-26 of the fourth paragraph

She looked around to see if there were any other abnormalities in the area.

Nevertheless, Sariel maintained a low posture and left the area.

Intuitively, Sariel immediately left the scene and moved forward.



2024/4/17 Lines 28-29 of the fourth paragraph


Continuing her journey and settling on a sleeping spot, Sariel took rest there.

Without stopping her progress, she finally found a place that seemed safe, and she settled down there.



2024/4/21 Lines 29-30 of the fourth paragraph

2024/4/28 Lines 35-36 of the fifth paragraph

Unable to gain anything, Sariel had no choice but to retrace her steps and return the way she came.
