"We encountered a lot of things. Besides us, there were other tribes going to the valley. We almost ran into the wolf tribe and were attacked by a few winged, hairless creatures..." Mateo intended to capture more of Clara's attention, but seeing her frightened expression, he immediately shut up. Changing the topic, he continued with enthusiasm, "Although it was dangerous, we had swords in hand. We avoided the wolf tribe, and the big monsters."
