Synopsis

The chapter explores a village of despair and hope at the edge of a dangerous rainforest, a place where people gather after losing loved ones in the forest. A legend of a wish-granting dragon deep inside the forest is introduced, prompting the protagonist, Sir Cale, to head into the forest, despite its reputation as a 'path of no escape'. He is joined by others despite warnings about the dangerous mist that confuses mana and makes it difficult to navigate.
