Emma stepped cautiously through the dense forest. She moved towards the faint glow of the horizon, following the narrow path that wound between the towering trees. As she advanced, she looked across the clearing, noting the way the light shifted beneath the canopy. The river lay beyond the hill, just past the old oak tree, in the direction of the setting sun. Emma knew she had to head towards the distant mountains, which loomed ahead, guiding her way.
