"Mmmhn~..." Elena didn't answer right away, her hazel eyes scanning the surroundings with a pensive expression.
There wasn't much to see in Goldenveil, honestly.
Few streets, a small population.
The only thing that caught her attention was the barracks, where guards practiced on the open training ground, moving through forms she recognized immediately.
"Is that imperial fencing?" she asked with genuine curiosity, turning her brown eyes to Ethan.
"Yes. Doran is the captain of the guard and was a martial arts instructor in the Fallen Sun Empire. Would you like to meet him?"
"Everything in good time. Take me for a walk first." A graceful giggle escaped her rosy lips. "After twelve thousand years of death, I need to stretch my legs a bit."
It had all passed in the blink of an eye for her, yet she couldn't help but feel old.
With a smile, Ethan guided her along the path leading to Lake Azur, just over two kilometers from Goldenveil.
