Chief Yulan, along with his advisors, met with Alex. Alex had been summoned to the chief's place, so he now sat before them, making small chats.
"You will go deeper into the desert, huh? I suppose that makes sense. We can't keep someone as strong as you on the border of the desert."
"I need to get stronger than I already am," Alex said. "That requires me to go there."
"I understand," the chief said. "Your requests have more or less been fulfilled already, haven't they? I hear you've got your clothes and storage bags. You had your sword made, and you got all the blood you asked for."
"I did," Alex said. "Now only one task remains."
The chief nodded. "Alright. Let us move then. I do not understand why you wish to see it, but you can come see our stash of Sunhearts."
The chief stood up, along with every other advisor in the room, and moved inward.
