119 – For Survival

During the four-day journey, my colonists were met with heavy snowfall and hostile terrain. There were countless times they had to go through the uphill road.

"Are you all right, Manu?" Seb asked the bearded man who was a few meters away from the group.

This trip seemed to put a lot of strain on one of Manu's legs, which did have a scar.

"How many times have you asked that, Seb?" Manu replied while panting, was climbing up a hill full of trees. "I'm fine, just a little slower than all of you."

"Our destination is not far away." Eric stopped right after crossing the incline. "Shall we continue our journey?"

Leva looked up at the sky covered in lush leaves. Even though it was cloudy, there was still light coming through the leaves. "Well, it's still early afternoon."

"But we're too tired, Leva." Seb said, then helped Manu up.

"That's what I meant." Eric continued his speech. "If we continue our journey now, we will not be able to fight optimally because we are exhausted."
