After three hours of travelling through the Imperial Capital, the golden palanquin finally reached an intersection unlike any Damian had encountered before.
Seven enormous roads converged upon a vast expanse of open land, each stretching toward a different part of the capital.
At the centre of this meeting ground stood a megalithic structure resembling a colossal tree, its enormous stone pillars branching overhead like ancient trunks and limbs. The building's architecture was so immense that even from a distance, it dwarfed the surrounding structures.
The golden palanquin descended slowly, its twelve carriers bending their knees as they lowered it onto the paved ground. Damian stepped out with Shin, Malachi, and William following behind him, his towering figure drawing the attention of nearby soldiers and civilians.
