Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism

Chapter 135 A Gift From Him

After all, you can find mythological stories like these all over the internet!

But who would have thought that today, on the prairie, they'd encounter the descendants of such legendary tales?

Violeta fell silent, deep in thought.

That evening, they had a delicious rabbit roast. The aroma was mouth-watering.

Everyone gathered around the campfire, savouring rabbit legs dipped in a unique sauce. They were utterly entranced by the flavour.

Laughter and songs filled the air as everyone relished the moment.

Of course, they also took a group photo during the Falconry Festival.

After snapping the picture, Violeta sent it to her parents to show them how many places they had visited together.

The Reids kept the group photo.

They spent a few days in Willowbrook, exploring everything there was to see.

As beautiful as the prairie was, staying too long could become a bit dull.

Sophia noticed her friends waning enthusiasm and suggested a visit to the ancient ruins in the east. The group set off that same day. By the time they arrived at the town, it was already night.

Sophia had arranged their accommodations in advance. After settling their luggage, the group headed out to explore the night market.

The night market was vibrant, with numerous stalls selling local snacks, clothing, and handicrafts.

Sophia led them to a clothing store. She said, "When in Rome, do as the Romans do. Let's get changed."
