The beasts and men talked for a long time before they left. It was morning when they walked out and the Crown Prince left for the Deer colony along with Lu Youmei, the Deer Leader.
The other 5 leaders left soon after as well, asking Alex to visit them soon. Alex wasn't sure if they were truly interested in him coming to their colonies or not, but he sure as hell was going to use the opportunity.
"Let me show you around the colony," the Lizard said and took Alex with him to go visit the rest of the colony.
The beasts were up early morning and the young ones gawked at Alex as he walked through the colony. He looked around at the poorly made houses, the large trees that gave shade, and the giant pool in the middle of the colony.
The fields outside the colony grew a mix of food and readily sought-after alchemy and talisman ink ingredients. He was taken around to show more of the colony and the many beasts that lived there.
