Like Ha Gild said, their journey took two days before they arrived at their destination. When they did, Amon witnessed the majesty of Golden Stone City for the first time.
The capital was almost twice the size of Qishurg City. It had two layers of defensive walls surrounding its perimeter. Li Shi explained that the inner wall was the original wall when the capital was first built. The second layer was much further out. It was built when the capital expanded beyond the original wall. The outer defensive wall was taller and thicker, allowing more defenders to stand atop the wall.
There was a protective dome preventing flyers from entering the capital without permission. Ha Gild's great eagle hovered above this energy dome. A necklace on its neck, which Amon originally thought was a simple ornament, started glowing. The glow enveloped the great eagle. It then passed through the dome.
