We were riding even though the night began to fall. We were riding without rest because we knew that when we reach our people, it would be necessary to help them. And they went through everything. And they're definitely in shock. It's not a small thing when you have to leave behind everything that has been done by you as a person and go to the unknown. Together we will face what the future holds for us.
The night fell and our gallop did not slow down. We were led by the desire to go together. We have more than one day riding to the place of assembly, and the date of gathering is in two days. We also hurried to escape from the horror that remained behind us. The same horror that we may have personally flown to this world. Perhaps this wound on the soul of our homeland will grow and heal, but not with our help. I am sure that in the coming years we will only experience the horrors that this strange phenomenon will bring to this land, unbroken darkness now possess the land that we have called ours for so long.
We did not talk much because too much was in our heads. Sadness, the immense sorrow that reached all the ends of our souls involved much. First of all, because we are leaving a place that has made us such a strong community, our entire history and way of life. Libraries, Temples, homes, all this is now left to lie beneath the new layers of the earth. The new layers caused by the anger of the Ancient Mountains now make up the Ancient Tomb for our legacy. The memories followed me, all those memories that made this place so unique. Thousands of springs of clear mountain water, the forests are so pure and ancient that your breath stops as soon as you step into them. A great heat coming from the center of the Mountain and makes you feel as if you were at home wherever you were at that moment, in any part of our Kingdom. A sense of belonging.
The other thing that tormented us all and painted the horror of every persons face was the feeling that we betrayed our brothers. We left them in this terrible battlefield to be their place of eternal rest. We left them at the end of the Immaculate Hollow, which would embower their bodies with that same darkness. But we will return, we give them the honors they deserve.
Dawn greeted us in the saddle. At that time, we could already have a better view of the environment. What we could not notice this night is that we have already gone deeply into the Desert which was our destination. We estimate a few more hours and we will be in the place that has been agreed. Everywhere around us, life slowly faded from everything that caught our eye. The trees were small, with no leaves. Shrubbery and rare grass could be seen somewhere. What was ubiquitous was a stone. The stone in various shapes and sizes was ubiquitous and made this landscape even more deadly.
Nobody knew what the future would hold be for our people. We did not have much to hope for, but we knew one. We will never give up, and we will preserve our history. At the same time, we will write out a new one.
