UNKNOWN LAND Lucas stared around the desolate place the pathway led them to. They were surrounded by branchless trees. The ground they stood on can barely be seen as it was covered with mist.

His energy shot through the air and the powerful force rose to the sky, leaving a huge pit in the thick and low dark clouds. The next moment, everyone was stunned.

Each one was as big as a millstone, and the patterns on the surface could even be seen clearly.

"We need to follow a Direction star that will lead us towards the Land of the lakes, beyond which lies the Infinite Meadows where the Tree of knowledge is" Roe recited from memory.

Elara closed her eyes. She didn’t pray. She didn’t cry. She rehearsed the script one more time in her head. Good evening, my husband. I exist to serve. Please teach me how to love you properly.
