The journey from the ancient castle to the realm's core had taken Arthur and the rest of the group approximately two weeks of steady travel. Despite their initial concerns about the dangers that might await them on the road, the journey had gone relatively smoothly without any major hiccups or life-threatening encounters. The group had fallen into a comfortable rhythm of travel during the day and rest during the night, with each member taking turns keeping watch while the others slept.
And finally after months of being stuck in the second realm, Arthur and Aziel had finally made it to their destination—the city that surrounded the realm's core. The anticipation that had been building within them throughout their long journey was now reaching its peak as they approached the place that would serve as their gateway home.
