Ning and Tim got onto a bus that went from the Cape of Tremala to a city in the west called the Twomile City, from where they would then take a train to the Warfort Kingdom.
From there, they would make their way to the Cogonian Archipelago to take a ship to the theocratic country of Airan.
Ning sat by the window, looking at the drab buildings all around him. He couldn't wait to leave the city and go somewhere greener.
The bus started moving, and soon they were on their way.
"This is the first time I'm leaving the city to go to another one," Tim said softly. "It feels weird."
"You went on a treasure hunt not even a month ago, and you're excited by a trip to another city on a bus?" Ning asked.
"Am I not allowed to?" Tim asked blankly.
"No, no, you're allowed to. I'm just surprised you are excited at all," Ning quickly said.
