Enemies like weeds (3)

As the sun began to crest over the horizon, a group of what appeared to be adventurers stood, before the grand construction taking place at the entrance to a valley of wondrous beauty and a mysterious air.

"Have we finally arrived?"

"Looks like it, but I wasn't expecting this. Are they building a wall? To cover the entrance of this entire valley?"

"That's what it looks like."

Although the sky was beginning to darken and the light of the sun would soon disappear, a stream of people was heading into the valley. There were also numerous laborers and servants wandering back and forth carrying out their work. Normally, working like this with so little daylight would be difficult. However, the area near the construction was lit up almost as if it were day. This was certainly a strange sight, but one could easily see the residue or aura of magic.
