53 Morning teaser (Town of Teon)

Having spent four months cooped up on a boat, Speranza could not be happier to get down from it and have her two feet on dry land.

The boat ride had mostly been uneventful, partly as it was not the storm season.

Arkalat gave a hearty laugh at her reaction of placing a foot on land. The three pets followed her, they had not grown up too much. With dragons and wyverns being slow to mature their size, had not changed much.

However, her flat belly now had a slight little bump that won't have one guess at the possibilities for too long. In fact, it was now pretty obvious this little lady had a sweet bun in the oven.

Arkalat never got enough of that feeling when he would place his ear on her belly to hear that little fast heartbeat.

They walked toward the inn where they would settle in and prepare for the next step— entering hell's gate.

Renting a room for one week so they could get everything in order from provisions to pack mules.

Half of the crew would follow them, mostly composed of guards and her maids.

The sailors, however, would remain with the boat, while they had no idea on how long they would take; the ship could not stay unattended.

Taking a look around the town shops, the girls brought anything they would need to repair clothes or make new ones with.

Once that was settled, they went to buy dry foods, enough for them to last for months.

They had no idea on what the food would be like down below.

In the mindset that it was better to be more prepared, the food choices for the wyvern was also brought out and packed.

Once all this was out of her way, Speranza went back to the inn for her afternoon nap habit. After all, the little bun needed much rest... or so she said as an excuse for her nap habits.
