Alright I may have spoken with a bit too much bravado earlier.
After I caught everyone up to speed on where we would be staying for the foreseeable future, we reluctantly made our way through the city streets towards where I felt the thread and its pulling motion originate from. It took us significantly longer than I had anticipated to actually arrive, seeing as it was now almost nine at night.
This wasn't the only surprise that awaited us, however.
The streets were impressively clean. The stones on the ground were smoothed out like concrete and the buildings on either side were spaced out, unlike those from the part of town we had come from.
