Tricks Up His Sleeve

On the outskirts of the Ashford Empire, in a wild land filled with forests, small mountains, and barren fields, a group of Stromchasers was running fast toward the west, throwing up dust in its wake.

Riding the Stromchasers was a small group of Knights clad in full-body black armor, equipped with equally formidable weapons. 

These Knights were surrounding a carriage in the middle, guarding it with such diligence that it seemed they would not allow anyone to disturb the guest's rest. 

As someone once said, time truly waits for no one, and it was already the morning of the next day. Ian had already said goodbye to his parents and was now heading toward the Ignisia Tower. 

Unlike his previous departure, this time, he would be away from home for an extended period, traveling to an extremely distant place on a completely different continent.
