Chapter 312: Which River Exactly?

“Yeah… I’m fine,” she said quickly, trying to gather her thoughts. “I just suddenly remembered something important. We need to find a way to the rivers. I now know how to get to them. But…” Her voice trailed off as she stared at the sky, trying to piece it all together.

“There are two rivers that lead to Truns,” she finally said. “That’s the problem.”

Ekene frowned, clearly impressed but puzzled. “Wait… how did you suddenly know how to get to the rivers?”

Nnenna gave him a small, knowing smile. “Let’s just say… the knowledge is within.”

Ekene looked at her like she had started speaking in riddles

“Anyway,” Nnenna began, “there are two rivers on the far side of the kingdom that lead to Trunns, Dunk River and Torrent River. But I have no idea which one we’re supposed to meet at. I’m starting to think nobody even realized this would be a problem. They didn’t seem to plan for it.”

Ekene frowned slightly, deep in thought. “What were Ruth’s exact words again?” he asked.

Nnenna recalled them clearly. “She said, ‘If the wind forgets the shape of the falcon in Marka, remember that rivers can carry what wheels cannot. You’ll understand what I mean if things go wrong.'”

Ekene paused, the words replaying in his mind like a riddle. He mulled it over for a few long moments before a spark lit his eyes.

“Wait, do you know if any of those rivers are near the Marka airport, train station, or bus station?” he asked suddenly.

Ding!
