"Twenty days ago?" William asked, his brow furrowing slightly. He knew Kier had arrived at the forbidden zone a while back, so the timeline wasn't surprising. What caught him off guard was the fact that Kier had stopped in this village to gather information. It seemed out of character for someone as driven and secretive as Kier.
"Yes, correct," the warrior replied, his tone matter-of-fact. "At least, I believe it was the same man. If not, they're twins." He shrugged, as if the distinction didn't matter much. "Anyway, he wanted to know more about the region, but there wasn't much I could tell him. Despite living close to it, it's not like we go there every day. It's called the forbidden zone for a reason."
William nodded, his expression thoughtful. "And what can you tell me about it?" he pressed. He wanted as much information as possible before venturing into the dangerous area. Every detail could mean the difference between life and death.
