章 49: Forty Eight

Chapter 48

Atasha quickly dismissed her sentiments and composed herself before carefully covering the old wooden bracelet with the handkerchief she also retrieved. Keeping it safe inside her clothes.

After returning to their resting chamber, she focused on making fire. The girl painstakingly scratches the edges of the rock together to create a spark.

After what seemed like forever rubbing rocks against each other, she successfully ignited the paper bill. Without hesitation, she burns all her paper money.
