章 79: Let's Escape Together

The horses ran with remarkable pace as the carriage thundered through the uneven terrain, their hooves hammering the dirt into submission.

The woodland soon swallowed the passengers completely as the trees started to close in and their crooked, old branches tangled overhead.

The smell of loam and moss filled the air, and the horses' breathing resonated through the stillness.

The passengers gazed in astonishment as they emerged into a clearing, surrounded by tall trees. Each was over a hundred feet tall, with trunks as thick as houses and branches that stretched out like a wide, leafy canopy. 

The leaves shimmered like silver in the sunlight, rigid and thin like grass blades turned upside down.

The carriage rumbled through the forest till it arrived at a small town surrounded by the same tall trees.
