Chapter 92 - Chapter 92 – The Forgotten Road

The World Government's gray road stretched through the forest like an unnatural wound. Its stones were too smooth, its edges too sharp, its silence too conscious. As Elara walked, she understood that this road had not been built only for vehicles to pass. It had also been designed not to leave traces. The soil did not sink, no leaves broke, and footsteps did not travel as far as they should have. It was as if the road swallowed those who crossed over it and remained as though it had never been touched.
