Finding the Origin

The journey to the south, following the legends of their origins, proved to be more perilous than the rogue king had initially thought.

The vegetation in this unclaimed land was impossible to deal with. Impenetrable vines that seemed to grow back the moment he cut them. More vicious animals that didn't pay the king any respect because of the power he emitted.

The man was utterly fed up with it… and yet, he showed no signs of turning back. His trip further south, however, only continued to get worse.

On their way, Beatrice noted how the trees started to grow closer to each other, getting more difficult to walk through. Since the start of their journey, it was the most bizarre thing they were seeing.

Without giving themselves room to grow, these trees were getting dangerously close to each other and the deeper into the woods they went, the closer they got still… almost like they were trying to merge at their trunks.
