A Quest Completion

The woman nodded.

"Of course," she said. "I got a message that my brother has returned from the war. I need to get back as soon as I can so I can meet him. He will only be back for so many days."

"Your brother is taking part in the war?" Ning asked.

"Yeah," the woman said. "He's a big deal in the army and can't stay away for too long. So I don't have much time to meet him."

"Oh!" Ning said. "I see. I hope we arrive there quickly then."

The woman nodded.

An hour later, they arrived at the massive river that the woman had told them about. The bridge on top of the river was also nearly 50 meters wide.

Ning stopped the cart by the side of the road and looked at the massive flowing river. "The current at the center is quite strong."

"It is," the woman said as she got off. "I will be fine. Don't worry about me."

She rushed toward the river and began washing her face and her body.
