Early the next morning, Gawain and Amber arrived at Agondale's highest council hall, having decided to set off early to the Western Coast to assess the situation of the high tower.
The eternal night persisted, so even during the theoretical "day," the sun lingered below the horizon, with only dim glimmers breaching from the plains' edge. The glow of the magic crystal lamps illuminated the corridors, as the black dragon girl Koleta walked ahead of Gawain and Amber. Their footsteps echoed in the somewhat empty space—until they arrived in front of Heragor's office door.
A short-statured young dragon woman with red hair pushed open the door and stepped out, her gaze momentarily surprised to see Gawain and the others here so early, before settling on the black dragon Koleta. After a brief greeting, the young dragon woman hurriedly left the corridor.
