In the heart of one of the nine Forbidden Zones of the Valley of Stones, at the foot of a huge stone mountain, one could see a magnificent elf girl anxiously pacing back and forth. From time to time, she raised her head and bit her nails, trying to see someone at the top.
A little further away, three people were sitting by a campfire, surrounded only by rocks, also seized with anxiety. They carefully followed the movements of the elf.
"Eulalia," Aliya called out to the elf. "Would you like to sit down for a while? We warmed up some food that Sofia had prepared."
Eulalia stopped, and smelling a pleasant fragrance, her stomach rumbled, which caused her embarrassment. It distracted her from her anxious thoughts.
After taking another look at the top of the mountain, Eulalia came and sat next to Aliya. There were two people sitting across from them: a young guy named Liam and his master, a middle-aged man with a sword on his back, Alois.
