Archer flew for a couple of hours until he saw the Aetheria castle guarding their northern border.
He descended closer to the floor as the snow was getting heavier which helped him get closer, when he did he spotted numerous soldiers guarding the walls.
A few soldiers were standing outside the main gate holding torches but the fires did nothing to the snow.
With his dragon features concealed, Archer landed gracefully on the ground and donned a cloak to obscure his identity.
He then approached the castle with a sense of purpose, ready to face the challenges that lay ahead.
As he continued his journey on foot, Archer noticed a span of imposing mountains to his left, stretching eastward. Not far from the road, the sea raged with its relentless waves.
A vast expanse of snow-covered terrain lay between him and the churning waters, and on the distant horizon, he discerned the silhouette of a towering cliff.
