Ethan was making his way toward Clearwater Lake, flanked by Bloodveil and Wraithshade—two members of the infamous "Backstabbing Alliance." They were curious to see one of the rare untouched sanctuaries left in Necroterra.
As they got closer, the air grew damp, and a cool breeze swept over them, carrying a crisp freshness that was almost... soothing.
Soon, a vast lake came into view. Its surface was so still it looked like glass, perfectly mirroring the sky above in a deep, endless blue.
The shoreline was a mix of scattered pebbles and lush, wild grass. The whole scene radiated peace and quiet—undeniably beautiful.
Clearwater Lake was sacred ground in Frostmere. Back when Abyssion ruled as the Overlord of Frostmere, he'd strictly forbidden regular zombies from approaching, afraid they'd mess it up with their grubby hands and ruin the purity of the place.
Only high-tier Zombie Kings or awakened undead with advanced intelligence were allowed anywhere near it.
