Xavier's guide walked just a few steps behind him, assisting another cameraman along the way.
At that moment, Hera didn't dwell on them too much. While getting closer to Xavier was her main goal, her immediate priority was to gather resources to avoid hunger. She was keen on making a good first impression, but she also knew the importance of not pushing too hard, lest it might backfire on her.
After walking deeper into the forest for half an hour, Hera could already hear the sound of rushing water in the distance. Bry's excitement grew, causing him to quicken his pace towards the source of the water.
After parting some ferns along the way, they finally reached the flowing river. The shore was adorned with large and medium-sized rocks cloaked in thick moss. The scene was tranquil and picturesque, perfectly suited for a peaceful picnic getaway.
"Wow! It's stunning," Hera exclaimed as she approached the river, watching fish swim against the current.
