Hello friends and welcome to sleep tight stories.

Esther is tired and so is Aria. They are walking through the canyons and the path is very difficult.

Esther is leading and this is the first time that Aria is the one to say they need to stop. When they do stop, Esther realizes that she is very thirsty and hungry.

She eats and drinks and understands that this is her chance to be the leader.

Magical Book of Dreams Part 25 The Paths through the canyon were narrow and winding, flanked on either side by these imposing rock walls.

The path widened into small clearings in some places where the

muted sun cast grayish light onto the ground. In other areas, the cliffs leaned close together, casting long cool shadows and creating

a sense of enclosure. They had been walking for a closure.

They had been walking for a long time, which felt like a long time anyway.

There were no waypoints, and the canyon seemed endless.

The sounds continued to confuse with Esther looking suddenly behind them at times,

thinking someone was walking right at their back.

Thankfully there never was, but it was sometimes startling.

It was Araya this time that asked to stop. We need to stop for a moment, Esther. We need to rest and you need to drink.

I admire the change I see in you,

but there is something else you need to learn,

Aria whispered.

Esther tried to reply, but realized that her throat was dry. Her lips thick like the

fabric of her coat. Clearing her throat she asked what what should I be doing you need to learn to pace

yourself even someone like you needs to rest, to drink, to eat.

Here, take this, Aria said, handing her the sack of water and more of the weird food she was carrying.

Esther hadn't even finished what she had in her pocket.
