The Margrave Estate was nearly twenty thousand miles away from Blanks.
The distance was enormous.
Even with awakened war horses capable of incredible speed, the journey still required patience and endurance.
Along the way they rested when necessary, sometimes stopping near rivers or forest clearings to regain strength. At times they slowed down to enjoy the scenery, watching distant mountains glowing under the sunset or long plains stretching beneath the evening sky.
Occasionally monsters appeared along the road.
Some were roaming beasts that had wandered too close to trade routes. Others were aggressive creatures hiding within forests.
For Ethan those encounters became opportunities for training.
Several times he dismounted and fought them personally, using the battles to test the control of his newly gained Mythic power. The fights were short but intense, and the monsters rarely lasted more than a few moments before collapsing.
Two weeks passed like this.
