Their path had wound through the lush foliage, moving ever higher until the air grew a little thinner and the clouds became close enough to touch. Hadama pushed aside a large cluster of leaves that were nearly as large as he was and nearly stepped out over the edge of a cliff that was far higher than he had ever been before. The King paused, his habitual quiet growing deeper and somehow even more silent as he looked out over the vista spread out before and below.
It was long moments before he remembered to breathe again, and then he had to swallow against the dryness of his throat. Emotion prickled in his chest, a swell of awe and appreciation making him forget for a brief moment that he was not alone.
But soon enough he stepped carefully forward and to the right, where the ledge extended further out from the jungle and there was room for both himself and Sohalia to stand atop the cliff and look down at the world below. Puffy clouds floated peacefully below them like grazing sheep, and the Mistbanks were visible far below from the edge of the precipice...
Though the Tidebreaker did not step too close to that dropoff.
"Have you been here before?" he asked his friend when his voice returned to him, though he still spoke softly and his eyes never left the view before them.
