Galestine Ocean.
Tebu moved slowly through the western waters, his ancient shell cutting a steady path across the sea.
Far ahead, colossal stone barriers rose from the ocean.
Towering cliffs stretched endlessly across the horizon, their jagged faces dark and slick with seawater. Waves crashed against them with violent force, exploding into white spray. Yet the walls did not yield.
These were the Great Walls of Mabi.
A structure so immense that even the sea itself could not break it.
Carved into the face of the towering barrier was a colossal statue of Varak the Paladin. The stone figure stood firm, sword planted before him, gaze fixed toward the horizon as if guarding the continent for eternity.
Sprawled atop the ancient turtle's head, Valerian listened with wonder and fascination as Tebu explained to him the history of Mabi, the Land of the First Magi.
Meanwhile, Adam was nowhere to be seen.
