BXBX NOVEL Chapter 52 Journey
Despite that, Rain tried to fly as high as possible in order to make it impossible for them to be noticed by the people below. Some guards and people that enjoyed the night in the capital were still awake and walking around, so all the caution was necessary.

Level 80: Healer Path - Unlocked due to the development of healing skills and knowledge of herbal remedies. This path centers around the art of healing, medical knowledge, and providing aid to others.
Level 1: Basic First Aid - Provides knowledge and training in basic first aid techniques, allowing the healer to administer immediate care for minor injuries and ailments and restore health.
It seemed a weird moment for such a thing to happen, but Rain was thankful for it since he got three points in intelligence and six in wisdom. Since he imagined that such a thing might happen and they would have to escape the capital like that, he made some minor potions when he worked on places without using his mana. Still, he only had three of them, and his mana was being quickly used. So, all the little extra mana was welcome.
"If I learn how to make medicine, I bet I can make a lot of money with the healer path, but I suppose people will be cautious of letting six years old kids take care of their diseases and wounds."
In any case, fortunately enough, they reached the other side of the capital after ten minutes, and Rain only had to use one potion. Still, he decided to use another just to be safe and gain distance from the capital.
Once they landed nearby, Rain began to carry the sleeping Dana on his back while Kei was in her mother\'s arm. Without wasting time, they began to cross the dark road ahead.
The darkness seemed to swallow their surroundings, and they could only rely on the faint glow of the moon to guide their way. Rain led the way, keeping a watchful eye on their surroundings.
They walked cautiously, their footsteps barely audible on the worn-out path. The night air felt cool against their skin, and the occasional breeze whispered through the trees, adding to the eerie atmosphere. They stayed close together, forming a protective circle as they moved forward.
The road stretched ahead, disappearing into the unknown. It seemed to take them farther away from the city\'s hustle and bustle toward a more secluded and uncertain future. Every step brought a mix of anticipation and worry, but they pressed on, driven by the hope for a better life. Still, things were too ominous to walk silently.
"Mom, tell me about your homeland," Rain said.
"I don\'t think that it is the best of times, though…" Leiah twitched her head slightly. "Still… it is a pretty unremarkable place."
Leiah reminisced about her family and the serene place she called home. It was a quiet countryside adorned with vast stretches of green fields and dotted with humble farmhouses. Life there was simple but fulfilling, with the rhythm of nature dictating the pace of each day.
As she shared her memories, Leiah\'s eyes lit up with nostalgia. She spoke of endless afternoons spent playing by the tranquil river, its gentle current soothing their youthful spirits. The laughter of children echoed through the air as they splashed in the cool waters, their worries washed away by the simple joy of being alive.
Leiah painted a vivid picture of the landscape, describing the rolling hills that embraced their village like protective arms. The fields stretched far and wide, kissed by the golden rays of the sun, inviting her family to work the land with their hands. They toiled alongside their neighbors, planting seeds and nurturing crops that would eventually grace their tables.
"It seemed like the perfect place for a new and calmer start," Rain thought.
Rain\'s mind wandered as he listened to Leiah\'s vivid recollections of her family and the peaceful countryside she called home. In his heart, he felt a growing conviction that it would be the perfect place to raise his sisters and their newest sibling.
The thought of a place filled with vast farms and a slower, simpler way of life appealed to Rain. He envisioned his sisters running freely through the fields, their laughter mingling with the songs of birds. It was a place where they could experience the beauty of nature, where their young minds could be nurtured by the tranquility that surrounded them.
Money, Rain thought, was not his primary concern. He had seen enough of the world\'s hardships and the destructive power of war. Instead, his focus shifted toward providing his family with a safe haven. In this place, they could grow and flourish, shielded from the chaos of the outside world… for as long as possible.
Throughout the night, Rain used the earth platform whenever possible to make them gain speed and also to rest their legs. While they didn\'t have much with them, it was still tiresome to travel like that. Rain was tired thanks to that day of work, and his mother was pregnant for two months. Those were some other factors that made him weary of their fatigue.
Still, they managed to keep going until morning. They decided to take a short break until the girls woke up behind some trees five hundred meters away from the road. Despite that, Leiah quickly fell asleep, and Rain was forced to keep his eyes wide open by stopping his eyelids from closing. He had to endure that until his mother woke up.
