After days of traveling through the forest, the trio finally emerged onto a cobblestone street overlooking the walls of Eryndor, surrounded by a constant bustle of people.
The energy was palpable; merchants hawked their wares, children ran along the sidewalks, and travelers hurried between buildings.
The sound of laughter, conversation, and carriages echoed through the air as the aromas of food and wine mingled.
Eryndor seemed to vibrate with a life of its own.
"Wow," Jhin said in amazement. "I can't even imagine what's next."
Aphir, who still seemed to be absorbing the scene, nodded to Alrik. "I expected something, but this… is beyond what I imagined."
"Let's enjoy it while we can," Alrik said with a smile. "We need to eat something before another surprise."
The trio walked excitedly to a nearby restaurant with a simple but welcoming facade and a tempting aroma coming from within.
