Ice and Sara walked in silence for a moment, both deep in thought. The events of the past few hours had been a lot to take in, and they were still trying to process what had happened.
Finally, Sara spoke up. "What do you think of that boy, Walter?" Ice shrugged. "I'm not sure," he said slowly. "He was definitely powerful. That much is clear. But there was something about him that I can't quite put my finger on..."
Sara nodded, thinking back on the events that had just transpired. "I know what you mean," she said. "He seemed so sure of himself, so calm and collected. It was almost as though he knew exactly what he was doing..."
Ice chuckled, his tone slightly skeptical. "Maybe he's just an overconfident kid," he said. "He did say he was trying to get stronger..." "True," Sara said, nodding. "But that ice spirit of his was no joke. I've never seen anything like it before. It was insanely powerful."
Ice had to agree. "Yeah," he said. "It was pretty impressive. I've never seen a spirit like that before either. And the way Walter controlled it was remarkable. It was like the spirit was an extension of him."
Sara nodded, her expression thoughtful. "And he said his spirit was particularly powerful," she said. "I wonder if that means there are other spirits out there, and if they're all as strong as his..." Ice's expression darkened. "If there are spirits as strong as his wandering around the forest, we need to be careful," he said. "We don't want to cross paths with one unprepared."
Sara shuddered, her mind no doubt conjuring images of fearsome spirits lurking in the forest. "I hope we don't run into any more of those ant creatures either," she said, her voice quavering slightly.
Ice put his hand on her shoulder, giving her a reassuring squeeze. "Don't worry," he said. "I'm sure we won't run into anything else too dangerous. We're almost back to the village now." As they continued walking, the village came into view. The buildings and houses were visible in the distance, and the sounds of life and activity echoed faintly through the air.
Ice and Sara both felt a sense of relief at the sight of the village. It was a welcome sight, a sign that they had returned to familiar territory
.They quickened their pace, their excitement growing as they got closer to the village. Soon, they would be surrounded by familiar faces and buildings, safe from the dangers of the forest.
Once they reached the village, they heard children's laughter and the chatter of villagers going about their day. It was a warm and welcome sound.
