Reporting to the King

The steamships glided smoothly through the calm waters, their massive forms casting gentle ripples in their wake as they approached the port of Bideford, the capital city of Ryntum.

Audrey stood on the deck of one of the ships, her eyes fixed on the horizon, eager to catch the first glimpse of her homeland.

She felt a mix of excitement and trepidation as the city gradually came into view, its buildings and spires slowly taking shape against the backdrop of the sky.

The salty breeze tousled Audrey's hair as she took in the sights, the familiar scent of the sea mingling with the earthy scent of the nearby land. After spending so much time in the north, her heart swelled with nostalgia as the ship glided closer to the bustling port. 

"I'm finally home," Audrey murmured with a sense of relief and contentment.
