Many hours later, the group stopped at a small hut where an old man lived. The four of them entered the house and Lucas introduced himself to the old man.
"My name is Lucas. We need directions to the valley."
"Very well," the old man said, "but I warn you, those are dangerous lands. They've been attacked by bandits for years."
"That's okay, we can take care of ourselves," Lucas assured him.
"Whatever you say, young boy," the old man said, "but this way, please."
He led them through the woods until they reached a clearing. It was an open field surrounded by trees. On one side stood a huge mountain, and on the other side was a river. In between them, the group saw a large, circular building.
"I guess we should go in there," Lucas said.
Everyone agreed without hesitation.
Inside the valley, Lya stood in front of the huge stone tower, which stood taller than any other building.
