They passed through lots of beautiful cities, but its citizens weren't happy with the ongoing war. Some cities had their walls damaged by the attack of dark mages, as well as some destroyed buildings.
Arthur saw fearful families packing up their belongings, looking for a better place to live, perhaps far away from the main part of the continent, as that was where most of the attacks were happening.
An unpleasant sight. Arthur did not want these people to suffer. They weren't even mages, but normal people who took care of their farms and lived a simple life. Why were the dark mages attacking them, too?
As they had no way of helping them now, Arthur, Elena and Laura kept going, passing through gorgeous sceneries. From rivers to mountains, from forests to plains.
