Chapter 71: 71. Meeting the Tribal Chief of Dusk Ridge Village

Dusk Ridge Village - Sapphire Island

The ocean's waves crashed melodically beyond the northern mountains of Sapphire Island. At the foothills of these towering peaks lay a lush emerald expanse—a stunning panorama created by the line of serene hills called the Dusk Ridge, as if entrapping Dusk Ridge Village in a valley below with its beauty.

The villagers' horses grazed peacefully on the hilltops, filling the tranquil air as amber light from the horizon softened the landscape. The long river winding through Ridge Valley reflected the evening glow, as did the distant ocean, which would soon become the sunset's resting place.

True to its name, the hilltop offered an unmatched view of the sunset, a place of calm that could soothe even the weariest or most sorrowful souls.
