He Who Lives Here Must
It was twilight when the carriage pulled by winged goats flew over the Garge homestead.
From above, Defi noticed that there were people near the warehouse. A fire flickered cheerily in the open space between the trees, casting long and thin moving shadows of various individuals on the ground.
There was a large canopy set up beside the dark and empty building that was going to be his slime habitat.
The flying carriage alighted near the house, screened from view of the people by a stand of trees.
The scent of sansu fruits and blossoms lingered in the air of the place and Defi breathed in deeply as he disembarked. The smell of the river here was distinctly different from the Indar river that surrounded Ecthys.
"I thought you lived here alone?" Gosseu the driver asked, as he and Marmocha helped Defi unload packages and barrels from the carriage. He'd seen the people as well.
