One hour later, Adrian and his team finally arrived at the edge of the Mountains of Myrandor. The rugged terrain loomed before them, a daunting reminder of the mission they had undertaken. They paid the carriage driver and asked him to wait until the evening. If they didn't return by then, he was free to leave.
The driver nodded, understanding the gravity of their request. "Good luck, and be careful out there," he said, his voice filled with concern.
They nodded and entered the mountain area. The air was cooler, and the path ahead was filled with uneven rocks and dense foliage. Adrian gathered his team together, their faces set with determination.
"Alright, everyone, we need to stick to the plan," Adrian said, his voice firm. He then turned to Ardel. "It's your time to shine, buddy."
