Atlas passed by two bridges leading east and west, with Achaemenidian soldiers guarding them. They spotted him but said nothing when he flashed his black Adventurers Card, which stopped them from looking at him.
Following that, he entered a quiet village with its people looking scared, which caused him to think, 'Why do they look frightened?'
While traveling through it, he heard a male voice echoing in his mind, 'Master, let me fly you across Zarander once you're in private.'
'Theo! That might be a good idea, but we'll have to be careful as the Achaemenidians are out in force,' he replied.
'Fly high Master. We'll be fine,' the Blood Bat King said.
Following that, Atlas headed out of the settlement. When he was far enough away from the village, he summoned Theo, who walked through the portal and nudged him with its head, causing him to stroke the monster's soft fur.
