Bener, the eldest of the group, scanned the horizon and noted that darkness would soon fall, judging by how low the sun hung in the west. He suggested that they spend the night at the peak, as he believed it would be the safest place.
Both Gideon and Percival agreed, and so did Lara. If Bener had not stated it first, then she would also have proposed that the safest place to stay for the night would be at the peak.
Mount Ourea has three peaks. When viewed from ground level, one would only see one peak, but up close, it consisted of three distinct peaks. The highest peak was located at the center and was topped by a shallow crater approximately 20 meters in diameter. This crater was adorned with a lush carpet of fireweed, whose vibrant pink and purple blossoms danced in the breeze like confetti of color. They created a striking contrast against the rugged terrain, transforming the mountain's summit into a stunning spectacle of natural beauty that invited admiration and inspired awe.
