"If I fail, I will return to dust. The annals of the Hill Giant Race will simply record the name of another failure."
"But if I succeed..."
His gaze grew distant, as if piercing through the dome of the stone tower to look upon the endless, starry sky.
"I, too, will soon leave this world. I will go Beyond the Heavens to participate in the war for the fate of our world."
The war Beyond the Heavens!
Raylo was shaken once again.
This wasn't the first time he had heard of it.
'It seems that once your power reaches a certain level, you must go to a specific place and fulfill a certain duty.'
"Therefore, I am settling my affairs."
The Great Elder's voice pulled Raylo back from his thoughts.
"I intend to divide the Hill Giant Race into two parts."
His gaze turned to Kado, who had been standing respectfully to the side.
"One half, led by Kado, will go to your Black Stone Territory."
"I ask you, Count Raylo, to provide my people with a sanctuary where they can live and thrive."
