Beastkin Kingdom — Capital City, Southern Gate
After passing through four heavily guarded checkpoints, Liana and Gloria finally reached the massive city gate.
The tall stone walls were overgrown with climbing vines, and atop the watchtowers, beastkin archers kept a watchful eye on everything approaching. The city hummed with distant sounds—shouts, the clash of metal, marchings of patrols. Pikko and Peanut strolled confidently beneath their riders, unfazed by the curious looks they received.
A pair of guards stepped forward.
One was a lion beastkin with a deep scar across his snout; the other, a tall dogkin with sharp eyes and a strict posture.
"Papers," the lion beastkin demanded curtly.
Liana quietly reached into her pouch and handed over the sealed document from Lord Garius.
The guard raised an eyebrow and carefully examined it.
He then turned and headed toward the gatehouse.
"Please wait while we process your documents," the dogkin said in a formal tone.
