A few hours before the chase.
The sky was cloudless, a complete dark blue above a city near the sea.
What stood out in the night sky was a supernatural view of a massive island floating near the shore.
In the center of the city, there was a large rectangular pillar. Each of its sides held a great portal, each with its own purpose.
Even though it was still dawn, the area was quite lively due to the nocturnal races.
The streets were well-paved, the lampposts illuminated the roads and the fronts of the portals.
On the side where the portal connected to the street, knights in polished armor, larger than average, emerged riding large horses.
The first two carried large flags representing the island, while the two behind simply followed with their swords at their waists.
That made the busy street begin to pay attention to the portal.
After the four left, a large white carriage came out, pulled by black horned horses wearing white armor.
