Chapter 99: Chapter 99: Eldorin And His Group Arrive At Eternal City (part 2)

The guards on the wall looked at them vigilantly, as if expecting an attack at any moment. It was clear that they took their duty to protect the city seriously.

The leader of the city guard stepped forward and shouted at the group, "Who are you? And what business do you have in the Eternal City?" His voice was harsh and demanding, making it clear that they were not welcome without a good reason.

Eldorin stepped forward, holding up his hands in a gesture of peace. "We are here on a mission from the neighboring Kingdom. We come in peace and mean no harm." He hoped that his calm demeanor would ease the tension between them.

The guard captain was not convinced, however. "You could be spies or invaders, for all we know. We cannot just let anyone in without proper clearance."
