The group of friends alongside Danlioden walked through the beautiful and lively streets of Wesche, people were talking and bartering all over, buildings stood tall and colorful and almost every race pranced about the street, short humanoids with no hair and stone skin were selling weapons and rare gems occasionally taking a bite out of their goods, a friendly white as snow humanoid resembling a bear was selling ice cream of various flavors alongside dark beverage using his innate abilities to freeze fruits to make ice cream and chilling the beverages down, a Druent selling handmade baskets, hats and chairs out of wood.

-I didn't notice there were so many Beastkin around Wesche- Mia announced while looking around.

-Well the city is run by one of them, makes sense they'd be drawn to this place- Responded Alimur while getting closer to Mia before hugging her with one arm.

Continuing down the streets the team kept chatting until they passed by a deer Beastkin shouting news at the top of his lungs.

-HEAR YE HEAR YE, new motion passed by the council allowing marriage between high and low Scaleborns, Great Caster Alexander reaches 150 years old, prices of rubies and sapphires falls drastically after large geodes are discovered in the mines of Svaril and unknown creatures continue to appear across Dartasil terrorizing villages council is still deciding on plan of action-

-Huh, looks like we're gonna have a pretty big problem with the damn things, popping outta nowhere and fucking things up- Said Jorn while scratching the back of his head.

-They won't be a problem once i document them all, this is my big opportunity to join the likes of great Telfan researchers like Notan Shodjin and Vosoli Kinirko- Jen says while pulling her bestiary out of her satchel and putting it excitedly over her head.

-I can definitely see it, Jen Jinin documenter of unknown creatures- Announces Salazar as he grabs Jen's shoulder with one hand and passes his in the air horizontally.

-YES, MY DREAM- Responds Jen with sparks in her eyes.

-Speaking of dreams, I always wanted to lead my own tribe, but I guess that can wait I'm still having too much fun with you guys- Expressed Jorn while hugging his fellow party members.

-Ah yes the exciting Beastkin traditions of fighting to decide their leaders- Says Dan stroking his non existent beard.

After a few seconds the group gasps for air and Alimur vocalizes -Alright Jorn... we appreciate... the gesture... but we need... air-

-Heh sorry, you guys are like a second family- Responds Jorn as he lets go of everyone.

-Oh what a wonderful group you are, so full of life and love, makes me want to sing- Says Dan interrupting the moment.

-Please don't- Said Mia with an annoyed expression.

-A shame it is, can you three tell me about your dreams, I've never felt this inspired, I would love to write a song about your adventures- Announces Dan looking at Mia, Alimur and Salazar.

Salazar is the first to speak -Well, I don't really want to do anything for myself, I guess I'll just help out Jen in her project- Soon Mia followed -I want to visit the five continents and then settle down- and finally Alimur spoke -I don't particularly feel like telling you Dan, maybe in the future-

-Quite alright, Alimur ser, and thank you Salazar and Mia for sharing- Said Dan as he bowed down.

A loud growl was heard, and everyone except Jorn stood at ready looking around for the source.
