The forest was dense, its air full of moisture. The trees were the largest and thickest anyone on the crew had ever seen.
Just by looking, they seemed to be made of some type of wood unknown to them, but those with a good eye, such as Mares, noticed how resistant that material seemed to be.
And to top it all off the environment was rich and thick of Astral Energy, to the scale that it was clear some artificial manipulation was necessary for it to get to this point.
Even when he was on the isolated part of Crixus, which was rich enough to generate Astral Energy crystals, Mares did not feel so much energy in the air right now. They could all practically breath into it.
"What's our goal?"
Mares asked, fully aware that the man named Avaran was watching them. Instants after his question was made, he was proven right.
"You just have to find your way out of this forest, reach the stairs, and then, well, I won't ruin the surprise. Good luck."
