Sansa's POV

The atmosphere fell silent, each of us immersed in our thoughts, dealing with the weight of the options before us. The chorus of voices in the jungle appeared to grow louder as if pressing us to make a decision, to take a leap of faith into the unknown.

Grandpa Falkor's voice echoed around the area, bearing a solemn tone. "It is critical to proceed with prudence. The journey to this elusive haven will not be easy. It will put us to the test, pushing us to the limit of our capacities. But if there's even a remote chance of seeking refuge, we must grasp it."

Mother Lucinda's words rose boldly, fuelled by determination. "We have traveled a perilous path, overcoming numerous obstacles. We can't afford to back down now. The road ahead of us may be perilous, but we must press on. We will find this hidden haven and forge a future amidst the wreckage."

"Why do you seem so surprised to be alive?"I was taken aback by her casual reply and clarified, "I mean, I had expected to die when I fell.""What happened to you?" Amara queried, her eyes widening with alarm. "Xavier kept us from seeing you."I quickly changed the subject in an attempt to distract the conversation. "I'm not certain. I recall becoming ill when a wild creature assaulted us. How have you been doing?"In an attempt to reassert reality, I reached my shaky hand to touch Amara, hoping for comfort that she was not a figment of my imagination. As she talked, my fingers brushed against her soft hair and caressed her cheek. Amara couldn't help but be surprised by my unusual actions."Lady Sansa?" Amara inquired, her voice tinged with concern."There was some dust on your skin," I muttered, feeling a flash of humiliation. "It appears to have vanished now.""You should rest, Lad

"What in the world was that?"Xavier, overflowing with hubris, reacted with a triumphant attitude. "You claimed you couldn't come willingly, so I brought you here against your wishes."Anger welled up within me, threatening to erupt like a furious storm. "How could you? Do you take joy in ignoring my anxieties and forcing me into circumstances that I have openly expressed my aversion to?"His features remained expressionless, a mask of indifference masking any hint of regret.
