After the ash and dust has settled, Rhone moves on with his life as if nothing had happened. He continues to try and rebuild Terastella, to make it into something great again. He is distracted with his task, not even noting that something had changed in the wake of the volcano. He doesn’t notice that a bridge has appeared out of nowhere and the island has seemingly disappeared.
It isn’t until he hears the whispers of the bridge that he decided to go explore it himself. Rhone has never been considered a fearless fellow or one who does things without thinking. But there is something eerie about this bridge that has formed. His gut tells him not to go, that there is something harmful there. It tells him that he should let his elders do the exploring and he should stay behind where it is safe.
And yet, there is the scholar part of him that simple needs to know what this bridge is and what it leads to. And so, he leaves the safety of Terastella and heads towards the bridge.
By the time he arrives, he is not the only one where. Several have walked on ahead of him while several soar over him. Eyes watch their figures disappear into the distance before he slowly steps onto the bridge and begins his journey. He starts with a deep breath, the air thick. It makes his lungs feel as though the air around him is not the air he should be breathing.
As he walks, he can hear the shrieks of others ahead of him and instinct drives him forward. Even though he is no longer a king, he cannot help that feeling that he must protect those that have gone before him. It is such a fatherly sort of emotion, something that he probably should have had when his own children were young. And yet, now was not the time to reflect on his past.
By the time he reaches the shrieks, he has come face to face with a wall of ivy. He stops amongst the gathered crowd, his eyes looking up and around him. What is this? Who has created such a thing in the middle of nowhere? He cannot be sure who has created such a thing, but he does know it’s from a magic that far surpasses his own.
