After completing his tour of the statues, the legend did not recognize anyone he knew at first, which greatly reassured him. It was one less burden for his long quest.
Our adventurers found themselves back in town, ready to embark on their expedition. They now had everything they needed: the knowledge, equipment, and resources required to undertake the mountain ascent and finally uncover what lay hidden there, as well as the origin of the water source that the entire kingdom benefited from.
First step:
Reach that immense angel in the distance, which seemed unattainable. According to the information they had gathered, it would take a good week's walk to get there. Well then, off they went.
Our adventurers passed through the market, ensuring they had everything they needed. They did a final check of their equipment: provisions, maps, weapons, and clothing to face the changing conditions of the mountain.
As they left the city gates, they felt a mix of excitement and nervousness. The road ahead was long and fraught with obstacles, but their determination was unwavering. The sun shone high in the sky, lighting their way as they set out on the winding path leading to the distant angel.
The landscape around them changed rapidly, shifting from verdant plains to rugged hills. Each day of walking brought them closer to their goal but also presented its own set of challenges. They traversed dense forests, crossed turbulent rivers, and climbed steep slopes. Every evening, around the campfire, they shared their hopes and fears, strengthening their bonds and determination.
A week later, exhausted but resolute, they finally reached the base of the immense angel. The statue stood majestically, seeming to watch over the surroundings with a mysterious aura. It was a moment of triumph for our adventurers, but they knew their true trial was only beginning. The mountain called to them, and they were ready to rise to the challenge.
