The Ocean Continent borders every continent, so Ronin didn't have to backtrack. Instead, he headed directly north.
After a few days of travel, Ronin, Geeta, and her grandmother reached the land and made their way to the city, which was home to various races.
Noticing the darkening sky, Ronin set up a camp in the nearby forest using items from his storage ring.
The next morning...
Ronin woke up to find Geeta and her grandmother gone. As he searched their tent, he noticed a slip of paper in the corner. Using his finger, he guided the slip towards him and took it in his hand.
Opening the slip, he read the message: "Brother Ronin, sorry for not saying goodbye. I have important matters to attend to, so we will be going our separate ways from now on."
Ronin pondered for a moment, feeling that something was amiss. He
shook his head, returned everything to his storage ring, and continued his journey.
