Standing right in front of a huge gate, the leader of their group turned around. Gesturing at the two of his soldiers to stand back, the middle-aged man approached Fen. Putting his heavy hand on the young man's shoulder, he looked Fen in the eyes.
"At this point, I can only wish you good luck. I don't know nor have any need to know what you went through in the empire, but there is one thing you should know for certain. You don't need to hide your true self anymore. While it has its flaws… This city will liberate you. I hope that when you notice it, you will fall in love with it just like the rest of us."
Shaking his hand for a short moment, the leader of the patrol took his hand away and moved away, instantly disappearing in the crowd along with his soldiers. Yet, even with how rapidly Fen's situation changed from being guided around to being left completely on his own, there was no need to wait almost at all.
