After five painstaking days travelling on the road, Sera's party finally reached the magical portal that would bring them to Lysanthia. Since the portal could only be utilized by three to five mages, Lyria, along with the three mages of the de Lys family, activated the portal, allowing them to pass through.
As soon as they reached Lysanthia, a massive snowstorm welcomed their group. Lyria looked around them, and she could only see white wherever she looked. The wind howled like a raging beast, whipping icy crystals against the heavy woolen cloaks they were wearing. As her eyes adjusted, Lyria finally began to see Lysanthia.
Unlike the capital, where the houses and shops could be seen everywhere, Lysanthia had thick, dense forests and massive mountains surrounding it. It was not a gentle land of rolling hills and fertile fields. This was the Shield of Solmora, the kingdom's greatest frontier against the demon army.
