Nadenka Valley
The white star peeked over the horizon, its warm rays a caress to the exhausted warriors.
The impetuous storm abated, becoming a light drizzle that impregnated the mountains with the peculiar smell of petrichor and grass.
The steep mountains gradually gave way to a plain between their slopes, where the icy waters of the Nadenka River crossed.
A wide variety of vegetation abounded in the valley, including the well-known banyan trees whose sizes were small compared to those deep in the Milbong Rainforest.
The temperature rose gradually, and the dense mist that made visibility difficult began to dissipate.
An occasional narrow waterfall cascaded down from the top of the mountain slopes, emptying into the vast flow of the Nadenka River that flowed down to join the Idanke River to the east.
Due to the rains, the flow was raging, so the platoon advanced carefully along one of the rugged paths that formed on the sides of the valley.
