Sebastian paused after listening to the information provided by the serpentfolk chieftain.
It was evident that the details given were sparse, some crucial information intentionally concealed.
"So, what is it that you truly desire?" Sebastian inquired with a sharpened gaze. "You've shared about the Void Image and its relation to the Void incarnate, but kept back the most pivotal details. I surmise you intend to divulge them only when prompted by my question."
The chieftain laughed softly, taking delight in engaging with someone as astute as Sebastian. "My desire is simple: to unlock the entrance to our serpentfolk tribe's Holy Land. Located atop Cloud Summit, a half-day's journey from here, every past chieftain of our tribe has yearned to set foot within. The very first chieftain prophesied that within the Holy Land lies something of paramount significance to our tribe. Acquiring it would mean our freedom from the Central Mountains."
