D26. The Child of Prophecy

After a few dozen minutes of smooth jolting, the Chocobos merrily ran out of the mountain path.

Then, the view suddenly became clear.

"We can see the town!"

The Hero and the Little Girl couldn't help but stick their heads out of the window, cheek to cheek, their eyes glowing as they gazed at the sight they had never seen before.

Looking down, the sunlight reflected shimmering waves off the vast lake, and beside it was a town with neatly organized buildings.

Despite still being a distance away, the Hero could already see smoke rising, boats, and figures moving on the lake.

Nature and civilization were marvelously intertwined, appearing so incredible.

"Sit tight, ladies, we're heading downhill!"

The coachman called out, and the two Chocobos lowered their bodies, shortened their strides, and smoothly but swiftly raced toward the town below.

"Are there lakes on the border too?" the Hero asked curiously.
