Panic
The next day, Mira and Dominique set out from the inn, leaving Linnea and Hana to rest.
The city they were in was full of activity, but it wasn't all that big. As they walked through the busy streets, Mira scanned the crowds, searching for the right place to gather information.
They soon found themselves at a lively marketplace, where traders from all over the place gathered. Mira and Dominique split up to cover more ground, agreeing to meet back in an hour.
Dominique easily struck up conversations due to her cute fox-like appearance with the vendors and travelers. Although there were a few who looked at her with more malicious gazes, they didn't dare to do anything, as the woman she came with was known throughout the continent.
"Only the strongest can fly over safely," an old man with a weathered face told Dominique. "Those in the Divine Sea Realm have no trouble, but for Mortal Shedding Realm Elders, it's a gamble with death."
