"What happened?"
Yelena looked up through the window…
The driver didn't answer immediately.
Instead, he pointed toward the western horizon.
Everyone inside the carriage turned toward the window.
The moment they saw it, the carriage stopped completely…
A massive black tower dominated the landscape. It was so tall that its upper section disappeared into the haze above the city.
Dark mist surrounded its foundation, while faint black light could be seen between the ancient runes covering its walls.
For several seconds, they were silent…
Mikhail then rubbed his eyes and spoke once more…
"What in the name of the Radiant Covenant is that?"
Yelena slowly stepped out of the carriage as she wanted to have a clearer view of it.
Her eyes remained fixed on the tower.
"I don't know."
That answer immediately made the other priests uncomfortable.
