After disappearing into the clouds in its whirlwind, a yellow parchment leaf began to descend, floating slowly as it fell to the ground, finally landing at my feet. I picked up the old, dusty sheet, which read: "Find me beyond the Highest Peak."I instinctively looked at Sophia, but immediately regretted it when I saw the discomfort my glance caused her."We need to continue on to Dritten. We must reach the Highest Peak. Possibly even Amenos," declared Luthor.I didn't know why, but the urgency in his voice made me question his true motives for wanting to go there. It seemed insincere, but, of course, this was a concern I had to keep to myself. No one would believe that one of the most beloved members of the Royal Family had ulterior motives. Perhaps it was me, perhaps I was imagining situations that clearly didn't match reality. And what was Amenos?"Angels, follow me! Let's head to the geyser!" shouted Luke, ordering all the soldiers to follow him to the geyser of the Highest Peak Mountain, Amenos.We all followed Luke without question, through the vast fields and dense forests of Dritten, a landscape that contrasted with the arid nature of Dritton, bringing us ever closer to the mountain. As we rode, my hands trembled on the reins each time I thought about the scroll and how it had fallen right in front of me, as if it were truly Destiny. What lay beyond the Highest Peak? What awaited us there? It was a mixture of curiosity and apprehension, but I kept my doubts to myself, not wanting to raise unnecessary questions among the group.Sophia was walking beside me, and for a brief moment, her gaze met mine. There was something in her eyes, a restlessness that mirrored my own. However, she quickly looked away, keeping her expression determined, focused on the path ahead.When we reached the base of the mountain, Luke stopped and looked at the group with a serious expression. "Beyond the Highest Peak awaits a journey that will change the fate of this kingdom. Prepare yourselves for the challenges to come, and remember that we are united by a greater purpose."He paused again for dramatic effect, as he so loves to do."FOR AMLUK!" he shouted."FOR AMLUK!" all the soldiers echoed.
