The Expedition Begins

The rhythmic beat of the players slowly marching forward was therapeutic.

But it was slow. Since it was a large crowd, to ensure that everyone stuck together, they had to move slowly and calmly. 

There was absolute silence as everyone peeled their eyes and looked around them. 

The trees here were nothing like the ones within the eastern continent. They were completely different. 

Each tree was its own shade of purple, and whether it was because of the sky that gave everything a purple haze, or the tree itself, was not known.

The trees were also pretty tall. Tall, and yet, thick. The covers that they provided meant that anyone could hide within, giving them elevation, as well as protection. 

It was perfect for ambush archers and snipers, something that Jake was already wary about. 

As they went deeper, Jake looked at the road that he was walking about.
