Amara was surprised as she traveled around the city on foot. Some people stared at her group due to their size and clothing, but other than that, they were left alone. They'd expected chaos of some form, or at least evidence of it. But the city was peaceful, and seemingly prosperous.
Every shop they visited was stocked, and hundreds of people filled the streets as they walked along. Amara was even waved at by a few random strangers, which reminded her of home.. 'Everyone's the same everywhere ya go.. Just tryin' ta live happy lives..'
After spending hours out and about, Amara and her guards headed back to the palace. It was already dark by the time they'd returned, despite it still being fairly early in the evening. The sun was just starting to extend the days, though it was hardly noticeable as of yet.
