As they rode deeper into the woods, a powerful storm came crashing down. Rain poured relentlessly, making the ground slippery and treacherous. Thunderbolt's agile steps proved vital, and Jill skillfully guided him through the maze of fallen twigs and mud, inching closer to their goal.
A magnificent waterfall emerged before their eyes, acting as a natural barrier to the next leg of their journey. Yet, Jill's willpower was unyielding.
