Lain, Annette, and Hui Shi, started to look around the moment their visions cleared. What they saw intrigued their minds. Their environment, looked almost identical to before. They were still standing on the large road that was over 10 miles wide, with its length stretched all the way to the horizon on both sides.

But unlike before, situated in front of them, next to the right edge of the road that they were standing on, was a small granite-like, stone paved path that led to a small granite-like, stone house that was nestled between the tall 2000-foot grasses that could be seen everywhere their eyes looked, except on the large granite-like road that they were currently standing on.
Strangely, as they looked left and right, they couldn’t find another house in sight. Only the long, wide road, and the small house was all that greeted their eyes.
As the three were marveling at their environment, Micas began walking in slow and steady steps towards the house, with Trent and Emily quickly following along behind him.
After a few minutes of walking, the two old men, and Emily reached the front door of the house, before Trent called out to the three still on the road in the distance. “Kids, stop daydreaming, and let’s go inside.”
Hui Shi, who was lost in his own thoughts about the origins of Trent and Micas, as he looked around, was the first to awaken from Trent’s words. He then quickly walked over to the waiting three at the door. Annette, also awakened soon after, she then quickly held onto the reigns of her chariot, and walked over as well as she thought to herself in lamentation, ‘Teleportation truly is a wonderful spell to learn. Too bad I’m not a celestial, and can’t learn spells.’
Lain, being the last to awaken from his thoughts, couldn’t help but wonder as well, as he walked towards the house, ‘I wonder why there’s only one house in this area? Also, why are all the trees and grasses in the area the same length? It seems there are a lot of mysteries to be explored in this city.’
After the three arrived, Micas quietly looked at Trent, who was also by the door. Trent noticing his gaze then said, “Although entering a house without the owner’s permission is against the rules. I don’t think the owner will mind in this case.”
He then extended his left hand towards the door, as a ring on his old, wrinkled, pinky finger lit up in light blue runes. The moment the ring lit up, the stone door of the house also lit up in a glowing shade of light blue, as tiny light blue rune carvings, that were engraved all over it started to shine. Trent then gently pushed the glowing door, until it opened all the way.7Please respect copyright.PENANAKWd218N1Bg
