The Gallery

For the rest of the day, Laina and Dante explored the different thermal baths. They ended their long relaxing afternoon with a herbal bath. Mixed with over ten different special herbs handpicked from various regions across Dracona, it had strong healing properties. 

The mix of herbs dyed the water light shades of green. 

"I am already beginning to feel rejuvenated," Laina remarked as she leaned back on a folded towel. 

Her body was fully submerged in the water, with only her head and neck above. Dante was the same, lying next to her. 

"It's also very good for the skin and complexion," Dante added. 

Laina slowly lifted her hands out of the water. She flipped her hands front and back, frowning at the sight of her prune-textured fingers. She could see the creases in her fingers and they felt weird. 

"I guess that's a sign that it is time to get out of the water," she declared. 

"You sure you don't want to soak in here a while more?"
