Into the Palace

Alex wondered what was the connection between the Northern Continent and the Eastern Continent. How was it that both of these continents had similar geographies in the colder regions?

Why was there, not a single hot region where lava flowed underneath a land, warming it up more than the other pieces of land?

The thing that concerned him more was that he had a certain feeling that these were not the only two places he knew where something like this happened. He had a feeling he saw something in the inheritance he received. 

However, he didn't want to check it at all.

He ignored his concerns and looked around at the city.

Compared to most other cities he had been this, this one seemed a lot more cramped. The size of the roads was small, the houses stacked next to each other with not a bit of space in between.
