The day turned into the afternoon as Rya, Quinus, and the rest of the group rode in the carriage heading for the city of Ironside.

Rya noticed a lot of dead green bodies lying around the outer walls of the city which made her question if this was normal for this world.

"What's going on here?" Rya asked Quinus.

"Yeah, that's why we were dispatched to the Labyrinth. A monster stampede was about to happen, Rya. You saved thousands of people's lives. Not to mention, you killed the leader of the goblin horde. Now the remaining goblins will be directionless and the human-dwarven alliance should be strengthened now," Quinus said with pride.

Rya looked to Quinus, "It wasn't all me though? You helped too, Quin." Rya smiled.

"Well, I did do a little... But I wouldn't be standing here if it wasn't for you," Quinus replied trying to downplay his importance in destroying the Dungeon Core.

Both Rya and Quinus look to the ground embarrassed by each other's praises.

"My Lord. We are about a mile out from the city wall. Do you wish to disembark from here? Like you asked earlier?" Sir John asked as he took the reins and guided the horses to the edge of the road.

"Yes, let's get off here. We'll walk the rest of the way in." Quinus said.

They disembarked from the carriage and put cloaks on in hopes of concealing their identities from his uncle's spies if they were in the area. Duke Alaric, Quinus' uncle, has his influence running throughout the kingdom. He always seemed to know what was going on before the Major Nobles did.

"B-Beta do I really have to put this cloak on? Can't we just use the shadows or something?" Dalia was complaining about putting on more garments that she thought was pointless as the wolfkin hated most forms of clothing. She would use any excuse to get out of the small dress that she was already in and now she had to add on this cloak. It didn't sit right with her especially if she was going to take it off later in the day. Like at night, when she would slip out of her dress so she could mount her mate, Percy. Which happened almost every night since they started their journey from the village of Kishin to the city of Ironside.

"Relax Dalia. It's just a disguise. If anyone asks us what our business is here we tell them we're traveling merchants. That way we won't attract much attention." Rya said as she held up her hood to hide her face.

"Alpha! I'm not good at hiding outside of a combat situation! And I'm not sure I can keep my tail from wagging. It has a mind of its own!" Dalia complained.

"You're overthinking again, Dalia. Just relax. If we get caught we'll deal with it. Right, Quin?" Rya said, looking at Quinus.

Quin smiled and nodded his head, "Right."

"Lady Dalia. I'll be there by your side. I believe in you," Percy said as he started to pat Dalia's head, which she happily accepted.

"Aw! My little wolf will protect me? So cute!" Dalia said happily while she wrapped herself around Percy as her tail went into overdrive under the cloak.

'Jeez. I think Dalia's right about her tail having a mind of its own.' Rya shook her head when she saw the wolfkin's tail wagging all over the place.

"Yeah, I got you covered, love," Percy said as he hugged Dalia back.

Rya and Quinus both chuckle at the couple while Sir George was looking lonely watching his former pupil surpass him in the ways of courting.

Sir George whispered to himself, "I thought I had at least 5 more years before Percy found someone... Maybe Rya is right?... No. I can't waver in my resolve... I know my methods work! It must be that demi-humans are easier to court. That's all."
