Northern Desert, southwestern region.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
...
Stern streaks of figures arrived from the northeast at great speed, piercing through the clouds on the horizon and leaving behind visible 'sky paths'.
A group was led by three middle-aged men, an elderly man, and a middle-aged woman.
Behind them followed twenty people.
All twenty were young men and women, and at a glance, it was clear that none were over forty.
"We're almost there."
The leading middle-aged man was the Sect Leader of the Five Elements Sect, 'Grini Clifford', who retracted his gaze from the distance, paused, and slowed down his pace.
At that moment, the others also slowed down.
"Already?"
Suddenly, the twenty youngsters following behind were taken aback.
"Since the day we left, more than a month has passed... Now, we are about to reach the destination of this trip."
Grini Clifford's voice timely reached everyone's ears.
"Really there?"
