The air was different once I teleported to Kaeron, or at least close to it, since the system teleported me to a hill just above the village. And it wasn't just the humidity from the coast or the salty smell of the sea... it was something else, something I knew well: fear.
Until not long ago, I was afraid too. Afraid of dying, but I changed and now with me here, the people of Kaeron wouldn't have to worry about that. So I jumped towards the village.
Speaking of Kaeron.
I could already see it from the sky as I fell, and the view was breathtaking. The city stretched out like never before. Its streets had multiplied, the houses now formed neighborhoods, and the markets pulsed like open veins full of life. Well, at least they would have if the place wasn't completely empty, probably because the people were either taking refuge in their homes or had go fled the city or on some cases were preparing weapons and shields for the arrival of the Athenians.
