The tower ladder was rickety and the structure did not look solid. Maybe it was the cause of the elements, or it was because of the presence of wood gnawing insects... some of the planks broke off as she stepped on them... others cracked as she did so<br/>She almost lost her footing a few times, but managed to hold on due to her strength that was hidden in those arms of hers. Eventually, she made it to the top of the tower. What she will see on top of the tower though was a little disheartening.<br/><br/>Although the tower itself gives a good view of the forest around her, when she would gaze northwards... she would see dark smoke where Toran was. Small tongues of orange flame flickered there which only meant one thing... the port town is burning. Furthermore,not far from the tower in a south western direction... the winds carry the sound of battle. It is estimated only to be no more than five miles from her current location.<br/><br/>If she would look closely, there seems to be a mysterious oblong box lying on the floor of the tower. She could either open the box, or descend the tower using the good rungs to make haste on her journey.
