As they journeyed through the night, the occasional whinny of horses broke the silence. It hadn't been completely silent from the start either, as the sound of horse hooves had accompanied them for nearly two hours now.
There were only trees on either side of the road, and the darkness ahead was only illuminated by floating magical lights akin to lamps in the night, appropriately named the "Lamp!" spell.
This was a common skill that anyone could learn, even without an affinity for the light element. Essentially, it wasn't an offensive or defensive skill at all; "Lamp!" was purely a spell used for illumination and was greatly favored by merchants like the Shun family.
