Finally, my flight through the blurry cosmos came to an end. I didn't land, not really. I just sort of came to a stop and stood in front of the place that I had been intending to go. This was how it usually went when I traveled long distances. If I didn't have a destination in mind, I would have had to walk the entire way. And that was fine when I was just exploring the forest around the castle. It was not good when you needed to travel hundreds of miles away.
The place that I was facing looked a lot like what Mr. Dolan had described. I could see the opening to the caves in the distance, mostly hidden behind a large boulder that had been pushed in front of it. I could tell that this wasn't where the boulder had been before.
