Time seemed to fly by in Goldenveil, and before long, two months had passed.
Work on clearing the path between Goldenveil and Lake Azur had already been completed. A road wide enough for three carriages to pass at once, with room for pedestrians on either side, cut through the vegetation like a proud scar across the landscape.
Of course, there was still much to be done, especially regarding land drainage and the removal of stumps from cut trees, but that would be something for the future.
What mattered was that access for the people of Goldenveil to Lake Azur had become much easier.
During this time, the settlement also saw an influx of new people, and the empty houses quickly began to run out. The population was already approaching two hundred and eighty.
In just three months, a nearly dead settlement with barely sixty people had transformed into a vibrant village nearing three hundred inhabitants.
