The town bustled faintly under the gentle morning sun, its cobbled streets catching warm light as the trio—Kai, Lina, and little Elina—walked down the main road.
It wasn't a big place, just another stop on their journey toward Veyhill.
After slipping into a nearby inn and resting for a while, they had just stepped out when they noticed the commotion coming from a direction. Curious chatter and excited squeals reached their ears.
Kai, Elina, and Lina moved through the gathering crowd, stepping closer to the source of the commotion.
Before them stood a fenced enclosure made of thick wooden logs with tall stakes planted deep in the soil, forming a crude yet sturdy boundary. Inside, were beasts of various kinds darted about. There were tiny wolf pups with flickers of flame trailing from their paws—Flamefangs.
