"Master John, how long will you and Elaria stay this time?"
"Not too long, at most three days. After that, we need to continue our journey. Why do you ask?"
"Nothing, I was just a bit curious. The outside world... it must be full of dangers, right?"
"Of course, it's very dangerous."
Elaria nodded, as if recalling something, and said in a solemn tone, "Sandstorms that cover the sky, monsters that can control those sandstorms, and monsters as big as mountains. Every day brings new challenges and dangers."
"In that case, why do Master John and Elaria still want to go back to adventuring? If you stayed in the habitat, you wouldn't have to live on edge all the time. Wouldn't that be better?"
Elowen couldn't understand John's reasoning. To him, nothing was more important than stability. The daily routine was something every member of the tribe experienced. What was wrong with that?
