Chapter 15 - 15

They walked along the riverbank, enjoying the gentle breeze and the sweet fragrance of the flowers. Aria couldn't help but pick a few to make a garland for herself. Shiro, on the other hand, was focused on finding a way across the river.

Just as they were considering their options, the monkey pointed towards a rickety bridge in the distance. They cautiously approached it, but as they stepped on it, the boards creaked ominously. Shiro went first, testing each step to make sure it was safe for Aria to follow.

Halfway across, a strong wind suddenly blew, making the bridge sway violently. Aria lost her balance and screamed. Shiro lunged forward and grabbed her hand just in time, pulling her back to safety.

After crossing the bridge, they continued through the valley. They came across a small village where the villagers welcomed them warmly. The villagers told them about a hidden treasure in a cave at the far end of the valley, guarded by a powerful magic.

Intrigued by the story, Shiro, Aria, and the monkey decided to seek out the treasure. As they neared the cave, they could feel a strange energy emanating from it.

Entering the cave, they were met with a series of puzzles and traps. With their wits and teamwork, they managed to overcome each obstacle.

Finally, they reached the inner chamber where the treasure lay. But to their surprise, the treasure was not gold or jewels, but a magical artifact that could grant one wish.

Aria wished for the end of all suffering in the world, and in an instant, a bright light filled the cave. When they emerged, they found that the world had indeed become a more peaceful and beautiful place.

They continued their journey, spreading joy and kindness wherever they went. Their names became known far and wide, and they were hailed as heroes.

Years passed, and they settled down in a peaceful town. They built a big house and had a family. The monkey, too, found a mate and had little ones of its own.

One day, a mysterious stranger arrived in town. He claimed to be from a distant land and had a message for Shiro and Aria. It seemed that a new evil was rising, and their help was needed once again.

Without hesitation, Shiro and Aria gathered their old gear and set off with the monkey, ready to face yet another adventure and save the world from darkness.
