Ning walked along the road with Emma sitting on top of Umbra who walked slowly. They had left the Trobble city and had come out of the Northern forest to make their way east toward the Ulharis City.
Lory sat on top of Ning's head, curiously looking around the entire surroundings, while Lyra was staring at Emma who was training.
The surrounding at the moment was a sparse forest that was transitioning into grassland. The road itself was wide and flat, but it was still a dirt road. There were houses in the distance, mostly at the foot of a mountain far away. Close to the road, there weren't any houses at all.
People feared the consequences of having a house close to the road, especially with banditry being quite prevalent this far out in the Empire.
Carriages rolled past Ning's group, who were obviously very slow as they were just walking. However, they weren't alone in walking. Many others walked there as well.
