The group continued walking until the sun started rising from the horizon.
By now they had come to a foreign part of the wilderness that Kael had never seen before. The river had gotten wider and he could only see small land figures on the other side.
The river was calm, too calm.
Kael was thirsty he decided to drink some water. The lionesses also followed him, clearly thirsty as well.
As Kael bent down to drink the water, he noticed how even though it was morning and the sun had come out, there was barely any animal there.
Compared to the Hippo Riverside, this place was empty. He wondered why.
As they drank water, Eidel went into the river intending to take a bath. As she entered, steam began to rise in a mesmerizing manner.
The image that she formed stunned Kael as he looked at it in awe. Eidel was that hot, literally.
Slowly, the six other lionesses soaked themselves in the water, leaving only their upper halves exposed.
