River Monster

Whoosh...

The engine of the boat roared to life, making a smirk appear on my face.

Finally, after a good hour of familiarizing myself with the controls, I was ready to set sail.

"It should take a few minutes..."

Looking at the Island in the middle of this massive river, I muttered.

I could barely make out the outline of buildings and trees from a distance.

However, I wasn't planning to enter the village yet.

The Sun was already setting and I wasn't stupid to fight shadows in the dark.

There should also be a Demon within the Dungeon, so I will only enter the Island within daylight.

For now, I should just safely cross the River and find a suitable spot to anchor the boat for the night.

'...'

Looking at the shoreline, I noticed the gentle sway of long reeds in the evening breeze.

There were so many of them, they seemed to form a forest on their own, dancing in unison with the rhythm of the wind.
