Since the two had a destination and a goal, they embarked on their journey toward the capital. Ai was fascinated by everything she's seen, as Ilios was the perfect example of antiquity and modernity.
A steam train that cuts through the wilderness was the only way to get back to the capital of Ilios, which Layla said its name was Helios. The steam engine ran atop the high brick tracks, which looked like a dam from afar.
"Are there trains in Alka?" asked Layla as the two of them enjoyed the scenery from the window. Ai thought for a moment before she shook her head.
"None that I've seen, but I'm not surprised. I lived in a country where artifacts were common," said Ai. "Is there a method to enter the city without being seen?"
"Helios is a big city, so it's impossible to stop all intruders. Therefore, the empire distributed citizenship medals instead of checking who entered the city. If one is found without one of these, he is locked without question."
