Legacy: The Unravelling

XXVII

When the sun was out and the crowds were already out, Freya groaned finally able of contemplating her attire, but her bickering with Stefan soon came to a halt when they saw Kiara's annoyed stare.

-Look.- she said sternly.- I don't care if you are strapless and are almost wearing a dress or if your chest is bared thanks to an open vest, I already warned you beforehand now move it.-

And so they walked into the city, both taking into account the lively ambience that seemed to radiate from every single building, children running around letting out joyful laughs, their parents laughing in the distance with their friends, merchandisers calling every living being that strolled in front of their shops...

Stefan was amazed by how much it resembled Khaeron and Freya was astonished by the huge contrast from Rhean since they were way calmer than them.

But Kiara's stare reflected a little of nostalgia when they passed the river that came from the waterfall, remembering the days that she used to run away from the guards alongside her brothers.

Eventually, Freya took notice of Kiara's pale red short sleeved shirt under a black corset top that combined with her pants and she started teasing her because it was obvious that her outfit was more revealing than hers but that she had cleverly picked up an additional piece of clothing that she put on below. Though she would occasionally stop to wonder where had the redhead –whose hair was covered by a sheer red scarf updo – had hidden their suits.

-I cannot believe that I used to think that Reyla was wilder than you.- she scoffed as they arrived at the currency exchange post, causing Stefan to laugh.-

-Hey! - she complained as the owner greeted them.-

-Welcome travellers! - said the robust and tanned man.- Are you new here? I could provide you with guides.-

-Hello, and no, we are not new.- Kiara spoke.- We just came back from a travel to Rhean and were wondering if you could exchange our money?-

-No problem beautiful, but take into consideration that there is a fee.- he added.-

Kiara shrugged and after some seconds the man asked her for their Rheani Calis which she provided and was returned with Eganis' Solari in almost the same amount if you did not count the exchange fee that the man had applied.

-Never did I once thought that I would be dealing with Calises or Solaris.- admitted the brunette woman as they strolled around the city, Kiara acting as a guide since few things had changed.- I have only used Ryons all this time, not even Aella's Herim or Khaeron's Salvia.-

-Freya.- Kiara scolded and the brunette quickly changed the subject.-

-How are we going to meet up with them? - she asked.-

-They will find us.- Stefan said confidently.- Liam knows her and they might even have more time here than us because they probably did not have to deal with a dislocated knee.-

-Wow, thanks for saying that I'm a nuisance Stef.- she replied sarcastically causing the pair to laugh.-

Things went excellent for the next couple days with them finding a place to stay without problems and even finding the remaining alphas in a comical way, which basically involved Stefan stumbling upon Dante and them almost fighting until they realised whom they were.

As it turned out, Liam had indeed been looking for them after he received a confirmation of their status when he found the trio's discarded attires and assuming that they would be fairly close to that place, his group and himself set up to find them until well, Kiara and Freya reacted by retreating to the shadows and attack from there, leaving Stefan as bait and you know the rest.
