That night, Dave was quitely having his stew. When he felt the girls getting close to him. A shiver ran though his body. Luckily for him both his sisters felt pitty on their brother and applied healing ointment and even fed him the stew themselves.
But denied him a quick heal from Alan or Chris. They said, it was his punishment for making them suffer emotionally. Which Dave agreed readily to.
The boys shook their head at this. The girls did not knew that these boys could heal themself many times faster than any human. All thanks to the insane training they went through. The food and the herbs they had consumed in the wilderness during their training .
Next morning all the girls were stupefied to see the flawless face of Dave. They helplessly accepted the fact in defeat and continued their travel.
They reached the Solaris town almost at the dusk of the seventh day.
Solaris, a town bigger than the Green town or even swan Lake town, With its cobblestone streets and timber-framed buildings, exuded an antique and an old-world charm that drew travelers from afar.
Surrounding Solaris, fields of golden wheat sway in the breeze, tended by diligent farmers. Beyond lie dense forests, home to fearsome creatures.
At the outer area of town, the bustling marketplace was alive with activity, as merchants sold their goods and villagers gather to banter and gossip. The scent of freshly baked bread mingled with the aroma of herbs from the apothecary's shop was enticing.
Narrow alleys wind through the town, leading to cozy taverns where locals share tales of adventure over tankards of ale.
As night fell, lantern-lit streets cast enchanting shadows, and the people of Solaris gather to celebrate life and love under the twinkling stars.
Dave I didn't knew that the Solaris town was so beautiful? Everyone agreed at Chris's comment.
"Shall we look for an Inn to rest and tomorrow we can meet my father?" Dave asked in a somewhat hesitant tone.
"Lets go to your place first Dave. We will see your father and do whatever we can. I don't want you to suffer like me, knowing you didn't see him when you could have....." Ben said in a painful tone. Dave patted him on his shoulders with a sad smile. He then looked at the girls who also agreed to Ben's words of wisdom.
As they made their way towards the inner town area, the scenery around them began to change. The buildings became more intricate, adorned with elaborate designs and colorful decorations. The streets were calmer and cleaner. The atmosphere seemed to buzz with a different energy.
They noticed a substantial wall separating it from the outer area. This wall not only provided a sense of security but also added to the town's charm and uniqueness. As they passed through the gate and entered the inner town, they were greeted by sights and sounds that felt like stepping into a different era.
The inner town seemed to have its own rhythm and personality, distinct from the bustling activity of the outer district. Perhaps it was the quieter streets, the well-tended gardens, or the grandeur of the architecture. Whatever the reason, they couldn't help but feel as though they were discovering a hidden gem within the town, like uncovering a secret world waiting to be explored.
The girls sighed in admiration. Even though they came from a city, the beauty of the inner area at Solaris mesmerized them.
As they got closer to Dave's home, he became sullen and looked withdrawn.
Observing this uncomfortable situation, the girls felt a pang of sadness in their hearts. The Dave they know is always lively, talkative, caring, and witty. But, here he seemed so despondent, his demeanor alien to them. It took nearly an hour of riding to reach his home.
