Voldrak, Flonda, Loibart, Adrani—who still moved with a strange, unnatural grace—and the two beast cat sisters, Maravi and Seravi, walked through the gates of the low-tier beast kingdom. The farther they ventured, the more the bustling streets consumed their attention. To Voldrak, the sight of this kingdom was unexpected; it looked almost like a human society. There were crowded streets, houses packed tightly together, taverns filled with lively chatter, and various businesses lined up along the road.
Maravi, her sharp eyes taking in every detail of the city, finally spoke. "We'll need a place to stay," she said, her voice cutting through the noise around them. She pulled out a small pouch of coins, the last thing she and her sister had taken before they fled their home. "There's a good one just ahead," she pointed out confidently, gesturing toward an inn farther down the street.
