Chapter 139: Shoulders

Standing on the top of a hill, Anastasia looked down at the vast expanse of ocean that was covered with dense white fog that had traveled up to almost where they were. She could hear the waves of the ocean splashing the rugged stones of the hill. Soft gusts of cool wind ruffled her hair. "Are we standing at the edge of Zmjia?" she asked, mesmerized by the scene in front of her. Her eyes drifted to the tall mountains on the left that were covered with white rolling mist and only the top of the dense trees was visible. 

"Nope! We are in Tongass," Ileus replied as he pursed his lips. 

Her eyes became wide with shock and then adrenaline surged through her body making her excited. Her lips parted. "B— but you said Zmjia!" She couldn't believe that Theodir was so determined to send them to Tongass.
