"Asfaria."
I muttered as I stared at those white buildings, drawing closer with every step we took forward.
But why did it feel like Arthania's name, and the name of this city carried the same tone?
Well, it wasn't really important.
And I wasn't the only one stunned by this sight. Even Izel was muttering to herself, "It really is a city... and there are other humans."
It wasn't clear since we were still far away, but from here I could make out a few silhouettes of people moving through the streets lit by lamps hanging along the edges.
I glanced at Arthania, who was walking ahead of us. It seemed she hadn't been lying or making things up.
Then I turned my head toward Ellen, our eyes meeting.
Without a single word, she understood what I wanted.
Slowly, our pace decreased as we let Arthania move ahead, putting more distance between us.
