for use, they were simply beaten earth. About halfway down the slope, there was a real road. It was difficult to tell where it led from and to, as both ends disappeared behind the bases of the Towers. Further on, the slope was again covered with a network of paths leading to buildings located below the steep slope, on level ground.
Far to the right of where they had emerged were the stables. Five two-storey buildings, spaced apart from each other, with high gates surrounded by wooden fences of varying heights. It was clear that someone was moving around the buildings, but it was difficult to see anything clearly. The only thing the dragon was sure of was that further behind them were paddocks where something was grazing.
A little to the left of the stables, there was a single-storey building, almost three storeys high, with a conservatory climbing up the opposite slope of the valley. There was a normal entrance at the front, but on the sides of the building there were doors resembling those of the stables.
Further on, there was a piece of open meadow, and just behind it were stone terraces divided into individual arenas. The whole structure began in the valley and slowly climbed upwards, sometimes cutting into the slope, sometimes growing out of it with stone foundations. Wide stairs led through the entire structure, from the base to the top. The lower levels contained classic round arenas covered with sand, surrounded by low walls and a few seats. Higher up, roughly halfway up, the squares were surrounded by stone pillars, regular obelisks with glowing runic symbols. There was a slight commotion in the lowest of the magical arenas.
Right next to the terraces, essentially along them, obstacle courses had been set up. Ladder walls, balance beams, climbing towers and many others. The most interesting, however, was the route leading from the foot of the opposite slope to its summit. It seemed very demanding, even from a dragon's perspective. Draco couldn't wait to get a chance to try it out.
