Several days ago, a lone horse-drawn carriage carrying two high-ranked adventurers and a companion left the old capital of Anspia to reach the nearest city prior to their quest location.
Within those days, their journey seemingly went without any meaningful obstacles. The weather was delightful; cloudless sunshine and mild breeze gently stroking the skin. Moreover, no beast tailing their track, nor rude enough to stand in their way. This combination successfully brightened the mood.
In hindsight, when gathering herbs, Alfraed also traversed around this area. Unfortunately, he did not have the opportunity to slow down and appreciate the picturesque natural view laid upon his eyes.
The scenery was of course familiar, yet the vibe he experienced was too different to compare, in a good way, because usually he had no time to be immersed in it.
Alas, like any other thing in the world, this conflict-less period would not last forever.
