The flying ship gradually slowed down as it approached a massive cave entrance carved into the side of a desolate mountain.
Its opening was so enormous that ordinary measurements seemed almost meaningless when used to describe it, and the deeper regions beyond the entrance were concealed by an impenetrable darkness.
The cave was large enough to accommodate the Heartreach Continent within its depths, with countless winding passages extending into the earth like the veins of some ancient creature.
Even from the outside, it was difficult to imagine how something of such immense proportions could exist within a single mountain, let alone what might be hiding in its depths.
Once the ship came to a halt, Ian stepped over the railing and landed near the entrance before turning around to help the twins climb down from the bow.
Destiny followed them, jumping off the ship with considerably less concern for the distance and landing gracefully beside her husband.
