Chapter Harmony's Horizon
The sun cast long shadows across the winding path, and a gentle breeze whispered through the leaves, carrying with it the scent of the unknown. Walking side by side, The Mixblood Twins, the anticipation of what lay ahead mingled with the memories of the land they had left behind.
Davhil, the ever-curious twin, couldn’t help but express his curiosity. “Eowyn,” he began, “I can’t help but wonder where we’re going. I mean, you’re usually the one with a plan, but you haven’t shared much about our destination.”
Eowyn turned her head slightly, her eyes fixing on her brother. She smiled gently. “We’re headed to Ravenholm City, Davhil.”
Davhil furrowed his brow, clearly intrigued. “Ravenholm City? I’ve heard the name before, but where exactly is it?”
Eowyn's voice held a tone of assured confidence as she explained, “It’s the capital of Tempora, a land ruled by the Seer Mages.”
Davhil’s eyes widened in surprise. “Seer Mages? You’ve always said you don’t trust the Council of the Twelve, especially their magical meddling. Why are we venturing into the territory of Seer Mages then?”
Eowyn's stride remained steady as she offered an explanation. “You’re right, I do have my misgivings about the Council of the Twelve and their politics, but Tempora is different. The Seer Mages are known for their dedication to maintaining peace. Wars are rare in Tempora, and the people there have built a society that values harmony.”
Davhil couldn’t help but chuckle at Eowyn's response. “So, you’re saying that you’ve softened up a bit, Eowyn? You don’t sound like the fierce rebel who would defy the Council at every turn.”
Eowyn's expression was a mix of exasperation and amusement as she glanced at her brother. “Davhil, you know as well as I do that I’ve never trusted the Council’s power games. But it’s not just about me anymore. We need a place to call home, somewhere safe from the constant threats and turmoil we faced in Umbralith. And, well, there are no barbarians in Tempora.”
Davhil let out a hearty laugh. “I guess your love for tranquility has finally won you over. I suppose even a rebel like you can appreciate a little peace.”
Eowyn rolled her eyes, but her smile remained. “Let’s keep moving. We wouldn’t want to be wandering the streets of Ravenholm City after the sun sets. We have a long journey ahead.”
As they continued their journey towards the city of Ravenholm, they were driven not just by the desire for peace but also by the hope of finding a new beginning, a place where they could finally call home and live a life free from the chaos of their tumultuous past.
