Chapter 53: A Journey to the Sacred Grove
The day dawned with a sense of purpose as Ashen prepared for his journey to meet the Druids, a mysterious group known for their deep connection with nature and the land. The recent development projects in the village had gone well, but to truly secure the future, Ashen knew they needed the Druids' blessing to make the Swamp Village lands fertile.
The Druids were elusive, often seen as guardians of the land. They lived deep within the forest, and their presence was seldom felt by the villagers. The land they inhabited was considered sacred, a place where nature thrived untouched by the hands of time. Ashen had heard many stories about them, tales of their wisdom, power, and their role as protectors of the natural world.
