The journey went smoothly and after a few hours, amidst the dense vegetation, the three adventurers were able to distinguish the angular shapes of the Rocky Crown, which rose towering in the sky.
The three guards defending the main gate, as soon as they saw Dag, Gridd, and Reidar, moved from the entrance to the tunnel, letting them pass and slightly bowing their heads, out of respect, after the news of their deeds had reached the streets of the city.
The three companions left the horses in the appropriate stables and climbed to the top of the walls, while Dag quivered with the urge to meet his woman again.
After arriving at the top, they noticed that the only lights on were those of the torches that lined the path carved into the rock, illuminating the entire circumference of the crown.
