The warm sun hung high in the sky, casting long shadows over the barren landscape as Dave's group slowly made their way down the road. Their figures grew smaller as they moved farther away, the sound of their footsteps gradually fading.
The atmosphere around the remaining group was thick with the silence of waiting. And while the others had already split off to head in their respective directions, Chris's group was still remaining. Gunther had already left, heading off with Kim and Silas, it will be after two days before everyone could gather up to meet again.
And by then, it was expected that everyone should have completed their expedition. Everyone else had gone their way, leaving only Chris's group as the only group left behind.
