Ali and Tiara traveled in the opposite direction of the Waking Glades. They passed several towns of seekers and spirits co-existing and fighting against the abyss together. Before his departure, Arthur told them a single sentence to guide them.
"We'll meet in the next city."
The two of them didn't understand what made Arthur save that abyssal seeker, but they didn't doubt him. They sought the next city, Garden. Although Nexus was the central city of the Infra-Layer, other cities served under Lord Halstren.
"How long until we get to Garden?"
"A few days' worth of travel in that direction. Just follow the hordes and you'll get there," answered a seeker at one of the towns. "And if you are weary of travel, we have excellent heavenly pleasure served here. I can take you there."
