Are We There Yet?

Bai Mo's Perspective:

As the carriage rattled along the uneven road, Momo couldn't help but reflect on the past seven days of their journey. The days had been too short and the nights peaceful— it was like the world was perfect, but it wasn't.

Time had flown by in a blur of excitement and anticipation, it was strange.

The kingdom of Donghua unfolded before them like a painting, each new village and town offering glimpses of a world Momo seemed to see for the first time.

The roads, though rough and uneven, had led them on a journey of discovery, revealing hidden corners and unexpected wonders at every turn. Everything seemed more interesting with his current company.

Despite the hardships of travel— the uncomfortable accommodations and the relentless jostling of the carriage, his bottom was beyond sore— Momo found himself reluctant for the journey to end.
