As they began their walk through the village, Theron and Charlize stayed close to their father. Their eyes were continuously looking around, taking in every detail of the sight they were seeing.
The ground that they were walking on was rough and uneven. They passed by homes that were little more than shacks, with roofs patched together from various materials and walls that looked as if they could collapse at any moment.
Children played in the dirt, their clothes tattered but their spirits high, laughing and chasing one another with the same energy Theron and Charlize have whenever they play together.
Elder Varian spoke as they walked, pointing out various spots of interest and introducing them to the villagers who came out to greet them. Each person they met bowed respectfully, their smiles genuine despite the hardship etched into their faces.
