As the group continued on their journey, some members leaving as the trials continued, they neared their final destination. Wounds mostly healed now the mountain ranges of Shoven Peaked over the horizon. All wagon trains intact with their cargo, the group and drivers continued forward in high spirits at a job well done.<br/><br/>Closing in on the border the barracks of the checkpoint came in site, as well as the large gate placed strategically within the canyon. Only other way to pass would be to scale the rocky walls of the Niiki Mountains. The ranks of soldiers was smaller than some would have expected, but they were well armed and numbers wouldn't be necessary in the confines of the canyon.<br/><br/>Approaching the gate the group would find that the guard were already assembled speaking with a certain man in long flowing white robes. Whether they were discussing travel or something else entirely was up in question, but nonetheless the remaining guard quickly took notice to the approaching caravan and called for a halt.
