Juno trusted Gerald a lot, which was why she wasnât against Geraldâs dare-devilish suggestion.
What more, if they leaped together, theyâd at least die together⦠Though needless to say, surviving together was definitely still Junoâs main goal.
Regardless, after readying themselves, Gerald then looked at Juno before asking, âReady?â
Watching as she nodded firmly, Gerald then hugged her tight⦠before both of them plunged deep into the valley!
Falling faster, and faster, it was only a few seconds later when both of them fell into a body of running water with a massive splash!
As they had guessed, there really was a river at the bottom, and thank god they were right. The river saved their livesâ¦
Whatever the case was, now that they were still alive, Geraldâwho hadnât let go of Juno this entire timeâquickly swam Juno to the river bankâ¦
Now soaking wet and freezingâsince the river water consisted of freshly melted snow from the mountainsâJuno couldnât help but find herself shivering.
Seeing that, he knew he had to get them warm as soon as possible.
With that in mind, Gerald then wordlessly began running into a nearby forest to gather dry branches and twigs. Once there was enough, he quickly rubbed two sticks together, and with enough friction, a fire was eventually startedâ¦
Pleased with how well the branches and twigs were burning, Gerald then called out, âOver here, Juno!
Hurry and take whatever clothes you can off to let them dry as well!â
Too cold to even reply, Juno then shivered over and removed everythingâbut her undergarmentsâ
before sitting right beside him by the fireâ¦
Seeing that Gerald then wrapped his arms around her for extra warmthâ¦
When she finally got warm enough, Juno couldnât help but blush when she realized how close she now was to Geraldâ¦
Gerald himself couldnât help but feel that the shy girl looked extremely lovely under the light of the fireâ¦
Regardless, with how tightly he was holding onto her, Juno felt a great sense of security⦠And throughout her life, Gerald had been the only person who had made her feel this secure.
Eventually, Juno couldnât help but raise her head, smiling as she said, âItâs so nice to have you by my side, Gerald!â
Smiling in response, Gerald then pecked her on her forehead before replying, âIâll be by your side throughout this Juno! Youâll always be safe with me!â
Nodding, Juno gladly believed in his words. As long as she was with him, she feared nothing.
It was about half an hour later when their clothes finally dried up. With that, the duo got to their feet and began leaving the forest. After all, the sooner they reunited with Ray and the others, the better.
After striding through the forest for a while, a black wolf suddenly leaped out from the bushes!
Watching as it charged toward them, Gerald swiftly punched it right in the head, resulting in the agonized wolf howling one final time before it fell to the ground, dead!
To be able to kill a wolf with just a single hit, Geraldâs punching force was truly nothing to scoff atâ¦
Either way, Gerald found the wolfâs appearance to be a blessing. After all, they didnât have to worry about starving now!
âAre you hungry, Juno? Also, Iâm assuming youâve never tried wolf meat before?â asked Gerald.
Startled, Juno instantly shook her head. She knew where this conversation was goingâ¦
âGreat! I havenât tasted wolf before either, so this will be a nice gustatory experience for both of us! Not that we have any other food sources anyway, so we may as well just fill our bellies with what we have!â
added Gerald.
