After spending a few days recovering and getting ready, Evelyn, Bylur, Rehni, Aralee, Verrader, and Lucia left the Elmot Gorge and headed for the Forest of Giants.
Luckily their journey was uneventful and the six of them arrived outside the entrance to the Verdant Warlord's Domain.
"If you look closely, you can see the sentinels that guard the place. They don't block your way if you have already beaten them before, but any new entrant has to at least prove their strength and skills are at a bare minimum level." Evelyn explained.
In response Lucia nodded her head and jumped down from the branch that they were using as a vantage point.
When she approached the doorway that led to the warp portal into the domain, the two sentinels came to life and attacked.
However, the magical energy emanating from the wooden knights was far greater than it had been before. It seemed that when faced with a higher-ranking entity they buffed themselves up to make the battle more challenging.
