Chapter 3: Rest and Reflect

You find a soft patch of moss near the edge of the clearing and sit down. The compass glows faintly in your hand, its light steady and calming. The hum of the forest around you seems to match the rhythm of your breathing, creating a tranquil harmony.

Closing your eyes, you let your thoughts settle. The journey has been intense, and the weight of choices lingers in your mind. Yet, in the stillness, clarity begins to emerge. A soft voice, your own yet distant, speaks within:

“The path ahead is shaped by the choices behind. Reflect on what you’ve learned and let it guide your steps forward.”

The stillness of the moment fills you with peace and focus. As you open your eyes, the compass’s glow brightens slightly, as if encouraging you to rise and continue.

What will you do next?
