Alvaric, Serya, and Valka arrived at the city of Vashtraal. When they got there, they were warmly welcomed. Everyone showed respect to Serya. As they approached, the guards at the gate—snake-type demi-humans armed with spears and wearing armor—immediately saluted Serya.
"Miss Serya, welcome back," said one of the guards.
Serya only nodded calmly, but a faint smile appeared on her face. Alvaric looked at her in confusion, but before he could ask, the city gate opened with a slow rumble. The gate was enormous, nearly twice the size of Chillg's gate.
"Shall I escort you?" the servant offered.
Serya raised her hand and gave a slight shake of her head. She preferred to continue walking. As they stepped inside, Alvaric was taken aback.
The city of Vashtraal was unlike any city he had ever seen.
