Emily Climbs Chapter 13 - Haven

In which Emily and Ilse begin their day nestled in the quiet splendour of an early dawn, only to be overshadowed by the sorrowful tale of a lost child that haunts their journey, drawing them unexpectedly into a landscape both beautiful and burdened with grief. Their evening finds them sheltering from a fierce storm in a humble household where human kindness mingles with the shadow of loss, leaving Emily restless and pensive beneath the howl of the wind and rain.
