A smaller gate allowed them access to the third ring, and Max smiled under his hood.
The guards at this one apparently had gotten wind of their description and had not asked any more questions once Aimee identified herself and her master .
Each ring got progressively nicer. The buildings in this section occasionally had sculpted glass and stone statues. Different creatures, or Max finally realized, beings, were expertly crafted, and many looked better than statues he had seen back in his world.
Finally after another few hours they stood outside a large building with multiple statutes of beings posed in fighting positions. Some held weapons, and others were only using their hands.
“This is the place,” Aimee said as she pointed at the large wooden doors that waited beyond five stone steps.”
“Is it really that expensive to use stone?”
She nodded and pointed at the building in question.
“Each of those bricks cost more than most would hope to earn in ten years. Sand glass isn’t cheap, but even an average family can afford to hire and pay off the crafter in time. My village will need to seek a new Sand Master after you killed Kaurma. Of course, those who still owed her money are grateful for what you did.”
