The Omnistore System

Chapter 348 Morning at Misty Mountains

?The night passed smoothly, with Kevin not getting the chance to do anything more with Emma beyond feeling her body as they talked. Cause Emma soon fell asleep, leaving Kevin to cuddle with Riya while she hugged Maria, all three looking peaceful in their slumber.

On Emma's side, her daughter snuggled comfortably in her embrace as the sounds of morning began to seep into their tent. The gentle rustling of people moving about, mixed with the chirping of birds and the crisp morning air, soon woke Maria. She looked at her two children sleeping peacefully and smiled, caressing Riya's face and whispering softly, "Riya... wake up, and wake your brother too."

Riya, a bit annoyed but comforted by her mother's warm touch and Kevin's snug embrace, opened her eyes gently and smiled. "Good morning, Mom," she said, rubbing her eyes.

Seeing the gentle smile on her mother's face as she responded to her morning greeting, Riya thought to herself, 'How could he even think of doing that with her?'

Kevin's warning about sleeping with Maria had been troubling Emma deeply. She wanted to believe it was just an empty threat, but someone who could make such a vile suggestion might very well act on it.

Despite her concerns, she trusted Maria. She was confident Maria wouldn't do something like that, especially with Kevin. Gently pushing Kevin's arm away, she looked at him with sadness. She didn't want to stop being intimate with him, but her heart wouldn't let her continue under these circumstances. Still nestled in the warmth of the cozy tent, shifted slightly and turned to Kevin. With a gentle nudge, she whispered, "Kevin, wake up."

She wasn't angry with him, nor did she feel disgusted by his touch. She just couldn't accept doing something so wrong and taboo with the family. Resolving to find a solution, she decided to get him a girlfriend as soon as possible.

Kevin stirred, slowly opening his eyes. A soft smile spread across his face as he met Riya's gaze. "Good morning, beautiful," he murmured, his voice laced with affection.

Riya blushed slightly, her sadness from moments ago fading. "Good morning," she replied softly. She then glanced over at her aunt and lora, still peacefully sleeping, and added, "let's wake them up too."

Kevin nodded and turned to Maria as she was getting ready to leave the tent. "Good morning, Mom," he said.

"Good morning, love." she replied with a smile. "Now, get ready fast, or we're going to miss the sunrise."

Kevin glanced at Emma, who was sleeping with Lora snuggled in her arms. He woke them both up and started washing his face at the tub of water placed in the corner of the tent. Afterward, he went out, following his mother and sister.

A lot of people were already up, waiting for the sunrise at the edge of the plain ground. The sky had started to lighten as the moon set, leaving only a few stars shining in the morning sky.

Kevin followed the crowd to the edge of the plain ground and saw the fog-covered mountains, with only some peaks visible. They were able to see this view because they were standing on the third highest mountain in all the Misty Mountains, and they weren't even at the peak yet.

Riya joined the crowd, snapping pictures and making videos. Soon, Lora and Emma arrived, with Emma wearing the clothes she had originally worn to the campsite. Kevin had left them in the tent as she had requested, worried that the others might question why she changed.

No one did, but there's no cure for overthinking. With Lora and Riya making videos of each other, Emma sat down next to Kevin and Maria, greeted Maria, and began waiting for the sunrise.

"It's beautiful," she said with a smile, looking around. "This is the first time I've seen mountains in real life."

"Me too," Emma said, also looking around with wonder. They hadn't been able to see them earlier, as they were all covered in fog when they started climbing, and at night, they couldn't see them because of the darkness.

As the minutes passed, the sky gradually transitioned from the deep darkness of night to hues of soft purples and pinks, signaling the imminent arrival of dawn. A gentle breeze swept across the plains, carrying with it the scent of dew-kissed grass and the faint fragrance of wildflowers. The atmosphere buzzed with anticipation as the crowd eagerly awaited the spectacle of the sunrise.

Slowly, the first hint of golden light peeked over the horizon, casting a warm glow across the landscape. The distant mountains, shrouded in mist, began to emerge from the shadows, their rugged peaks painted in hues of amber and rose. The sky above transformed into a canvas of vibrant colors, streaked with fiery oranges, deep blues, and soft pastels, creating a breathtaking panorama that stretched as far as the eye could see.

As the sun climbed higher, its rays bathed the earth in a golden embrace, illuminating the valley below with a soft, ethereal light. The world seemed to come alive with the promise of a new day, as birdsong filled the air and the gentle rustle of leaves echoed through the trees.

With a wide grin, Kevin rose to his feet, his eyes reflecting the radiant hues of the sunrise. "This is it," he declared, turning to face Maria. "Let's came back here next winter too."

Maria's expression softened, touched by the sincerity in Kevin's words. "I'd like that," she replied, her voice carrying a hint of warmth. "It'll be our special family tradition."

As the crowd began to disperse, some ventured towards the nearby waterfalls, while others retreated to their tents. Kevin and the rest of the group made their way towards the cascading waters, capturing precious moments through photographs, destined to be cherished as memories in the years to come. Meanwhile, Emma stood by the riverside, her cheeks flushing with embarrassment as she glanced at the trees where she and Kevin had shared an intimate moment the night before.
