Alexia watched Erik cautiously peek around the corner while concealed behind a massive tree.
Erik's eyes were fixed on vehicles making their way through the forest.
His face appeared taut due to the deeply etched lines of concentration on his features.
The rumble of the engines became increasingly audible, and the ground began to vibrate due to the intensity.
Alexia took a few deep breaths as her heart raced in her chest, and she clenched her hands around the hilt of the weapon she was holding.
She had never before witnessed such a massive procession in her life.
Ava shifted her position next to her, turning her attention to Erik.
Beside her, Ava shifted, her gaze focused on Erik. She leaned in closer, her voice barely audible over the roar of the engines. "How many are there?" she asked, her tone laced with worry.
