As they dashed through the dense forest, the sound of rushing water grew louder, leading them towards the river. Lukas displayed extraordinary agility as he effortlessly maneuvered through the undergrowth, leaving the brown-haired boy struggling to keep up.
Finally, they burst through the trees onto the banks of a broad river. Lukas promptly surveyed the surroundings, assessing their options.

They hurried to the fallen tree, carefully balancing as they made their way across the narrow trunk. The rushing water below heightened their adrenaline, but they focused on maintaining their balance and moving swiftly.
