The Death Mountains in the west became more and more distant as the hawk-like bird soared higher and moved north. Even though they had been flying the whole day, there was only sparse land populated by people. These were smaller independent regions like Fendrie. Other areas were mostly forests or barren lands.
Bowen's face grew concerned as he saw there were no cities along their route. He wasn't sure if those small nations had high-speed postal services to deliver Turra Nejesta to Renault. He sighed and decided to inquire with someone more familiar with these lands.
"Sir Matt Cross, are there any big cities on our way to Starfall?" Bowen asked.
Matt, surprised by the unexpected question, replied composedly, "There are some cities that lie on the border of Raiff and happen to be on our way, Your Majesty." This made Bowen happy.
"Great. So when do we reach there? I have some business to take care of."
