About six thousand kilometers west of the continent lay a quiet city called Gehena, part of the Kingdom of Oryndel.
The kingdom itself was neither particularly powerful nor weak. Still, it spanned a large area and was considered quite advanced in civilization.
Gehena was not very large and had a low population density, with only ten thousand residents.
Despite its size, the city boasted the kingdom's most famous port—Calvira Port.
The port was bustling and served as the backbone of Gehena's community.
At that moment, one kilometer outside the city, a teleportation portal appeared. Shortly after, Merlin and Linda stepped through it.
They wore formal clothes that seemed oddly out of place.
Linda snapped her fingers, and two cloaks floated into the air. She handed one to Merlin and draped the other over herself.
"Wear this to hide yourself," she said.
