The dawn brought a soft, amber light over the trees as Amara prepared for her journey. By the time she arrived at the landmark meeting point, a few other tourists were already gathered, murmuring in anticipation. A rugged jeep was parked nearby, and their guide—a quiet man with eyes that seemed to know the forest’s every secret—greeted each of them with a nod.
The group climbed into the jeep, and Amara felt a thrill of energy in the air as they set off, the hum of the engine blending with the awakening sounds of the jungle around them. As the jeep wove its way into the dense forest, Amara’s senses sharpened with every bump and turn.
