Richard's thoughts turned to the north, where their exploration continued. He believed their quest held the key to a brighter future, one where peace could be restored. The urgency to return to Wallachia intensified, for he longed to see his beloved land free from the ravages of war and to witness the smiles return to the faces of its people.
Yet he knew their journey would not be without challenges. The north, shrouded in mystery, held secrets waiting to be unraveled. He pondered the dangers that lay ahead, the potential adversaries they might encounter, and the sacrifices they would have to make.
