Chapter 51: Alliance
The morning sun rose over the village, casting a warm glow over the bustling streets. Ashen, having accepted the quest to forge alliances with neighboring territories, was ready to embark on his journey. He equipped himself with his travel gear, including a satchel containing maps, supplies, and a few valuable items to present as gifts to the leaders he would meet.
As he made his way to the village gates, he was joined by Heqet and a small group of guards who would accompany him on his mission to get more experience. The villagers bid them farewell, wishing them a safe journey and success in their endeavors.
The first destination on Ashen's list was a village called Greenhollow, known for its skilled herbalists and healers. The journey was relatively uneventful, the group traversing through lush forests and over rolling hills. As they approached Greenhollow, Ashen noticed the village's distinctive wooden palisades and the vibrant greenery that surrounded it.
