Revenge of the Hideous Lady by Moonlight

It was particularly cold at night.

Rachel Wood was only wearing thin, worn-out woolen clothes that the men had given her.

She could feel the frigid breeze through the holey fabric, making her shiver uncontrollably.

She endured the cold, not daring to stop for even a second knowing that she wasn't safe until she left this place.

Sebastian Brenand was still waiting for her.

Biting her lip, she persisted forward without stopping to rest.

At the break of dawn, she couldn't walk anymore.

Right then, she spotted an empty tar road without any cars in sight.

She could see a road sign showing directions to Merryview City a fair distance away.

She was 62 miles away from Merryview City.

Rachel recognized this place as an impoverished city far away from Atlantis. It turned out that she was sold to a village beneath this city.
