After five years of staying inside the Vanderbilt estate this entire time, Michael finally set out for Kingsbridge with his parents.
Winter had settled in, so Michael had to cast a few ember spells along the way just to keep the carriage warm enough to enjoy. Of course, he didn't forget their trusty horse, whose entire body was comfortably warmed through Michael's fire spells, making the journey easy for the animal as well.
As they reached the walls of Kingsbridge, they saw snow piled high on the walkways. Guards stood at the entrance, rubbing their arms as they inspected the carriages entering the City.
As usual, their family's carriage was quickly let in without any trouble.
Michael peeked out of the windows and saw how business had been booming for the Reborn company.
