章 122: Training

CHAPTER 122 

It wasn't until evening that Zale allowed them to take a rest somewhere close to the first village. 

Although they had set out earlier in the morning, Zale was shocked they did not arrive at the village on time. 

Still, he had Pearl's health to consider. Most times they ran, playing tag and first to reach a particular spot. Other times they simply walked. 

He was sure her feet would hurt. 

By the time they set up camp after Zale helped Pearl massage her feet till she felt better. They shared their a meal, ate and went to relax under the opn sky. 

For one thing she was not scared on this journey, having Zale with her and the fact that setting up a barrier came easy for him. 

Quickly, both parties drifted off to sleep separately after bidding their goodnight. For some reason though, even when Zale slept, Pearl found it hard to go to bed.
