As they arrived in the city, they were greeted by a scene of bustling crowds. The streets were teeming with people. All gathered in the city centre as if a grand celebration were taking place. In the heart of the city centre, an intricately decorated stage stood tall at the plaza, capturing everyone's attention.
Guards and soldiers maintained a vigilant presence, ensuring the safety of the surroundings. Opportunistic sellers and stall owners took advantage of the large crowds, eager to boost their sales.
Colourful buntings adorned the buildings, displaying the emblem of the Firebird, symbolising the King of Cassian, as well as the Griffin, representing the Grand Duke of Gerhard.
Curiosity piqued, Callis gazed at the scene before her, puzzled by the unexpected festivities. "What could they be celebrating? It's not yet time for the mid-autumn festival," she wondered aloud, her eyes scanning the crowd for answers.
