186 Hope

–Khalia Village–

.

The first breath of snow had already sent shivers down the napes of several villagers. 

The beautiful appearance of the snowy flakes contracted their cold nature. 

Not good!

Although prepared for the winter, many still wore sunken faces when seeing the white flakes fall. 

'Oh, heavenly Gods, please see us through,' many prayed in their hearts while hastening up their last minute preparations 

Food! Water! Shelter! 

The 3 vital components for survival. 

Everywhere one turns in the village, they will be able to hear the sounds of men and women fixing whatever Leakes excited in their homes. 

Some also barricaded their homes, while others began fetching water like crazy, from the streams. 

Spears were sharpened and animal skin sewn for the winter. 

Alas… 

In these dark and desperate times, there was hardly any joy on the faces of the village children.
