Chapter 66: 66: To the Frontier! [Bonus chapter for 100 power stones]

"Master Val," Reignarld Ashworth, the Whitemore family's eternally-serious butler called out, holding a silver tray with an air of solemn gravity. On it sat a small parcel nearly wrapped in silver papers as if it contained the Crown Jewels. "Your provisions for the journey."

The provisions prepared for Val's journey by Reignarld consisted of a variety of items.

These included dried meat and fruits, some of which were imbued with minor healing properties and energy replenishment, hard cheese wrapped in wax to keep it fresh, and a supply of clean water in a compact, reusable canteen.

In addition to the food and water, the parcel also contained a small pouch of silver and copper coins for emergency spending, a compass for navigation, a map of the Northern Frontier marked with known safe zones and danger areas, and a tiny book of remedies and medicinal plants common to the frontier area.
