"We never anticipated encountering Your Excellency," Finn spoke humbly to the figure before him.
"I, too, am but human. This place was once my home, so it's only natural that I visit as it approaches its end," the person replied to Finn and Leah, who had approached to greet him.
The figure they addressed was none other than Ryan Wood, renowned throughout Ixion as the War Sovereign, one of the youngest Nascent Soul cultivators.
"This place is our home as well, and we also wish to take one last look," Finn expressed with admiration.
Leah, vying for Ryan's attention, added softly, "We hail from Etria too. Our hometown lies in the Eastern Continent."
Not wanting Leah to monopolize the conversation, Finn quickly chimed in, "I too am from the Northern Continent."
Ryan turned his gaze to Finn, inquiring, "The Northern Continent? I hail from Aura Ridge. And where are you from?"
"I'm from Banter Town," Finn replied.
