Capítulo 62: Weapon down, Vitello

"How long would we have to walk?" Persephone asked. 

"I don't know. I have never been to this part of the country," Santiago answered. "But we can't stop until we see any sign of civilization. The forest is on the bank of the river. So, it's clear that we will find humans sooner and later." 

Three of them were walking for about six hours but still, there was no sign of human civilization anywhere. Worst of all, the forest didn't appear to end somewhere. If you ask Persephone she would say that it wasn't a forest but a maze. All the paths were leading to nowhere. 

"Miss Persephone, we can't rest," Emanuel said anxiously as he saw a huffing and exhausted Persephone sitting in the middle of the path. She was taking deep breaths, her legs and waist were aching like never before, and not to mention, her feet were stiff and throbbing.
