I brushed away the dust stains from my cloak as I landed on my feet from the tree branch. Ahead of me lay a large mansion, isolated away from the rest of the Sparkhaven City. Situated right at the borders of the city, it stood out as a beacon of light amongst the surrounding wilderness and broken, ancient debris.
I was still a little far away from the territory of the mansion. The walls were raised high around it, with watchtowers rising at sharp corners. A few patrols could also be seen roaming around the perimeter of the mansion.
These patrols weren't dressed elegantly like regular soldiers back at the academy but rather in leather armor. As far as I could see, they didn't even have any proper helmet and each carried weapons of their own choice.
Glancing one last time at the watchtower, I started circling the area. I still didn't risk approaching the territory. I needed to atleast know the layout of the outer region before I planned my next move.
