The night passed, and dawn arrived.
As the sky barely began to brighten, Sunan left the tavern with Amy.
Amy's master, that mysterious wizard, resided in Sharp Stone Valley, located east of Stone Bell City.
About ten kilometers out of the city lay a pine forest. Following the dense trees eastward, and crossing two mountain peaks, one would enter the area of Sharp Stone Valley.
After entering the valley, the environment grew increasingly desolate the deeper they went, and the terrain gradually became rugged.
The ground was almost devoid of vegetation; jagged sharp stones were everywhere. Withered grass and thorns grew from the cracks in the rock walls, creaking as the cold mountain wind blew by.
Sunan was puzzled as to why the wizard had chosen such a desolate place to live.
However, he then thought that a thousand years had passed since then; perhaps Sharp Stone Valley didn't look like this back then.
Amy quietly perched on Sunan's shoulder, idly licking her paws.
