A dragon on a break.
Alix was driven straight to the main home of the Heinrich family, to the castle that Bo had talked about. The cars did not stop for a single second for any reason and the journey was two hours long.
When they finally stopped and the door was opened, Alix stepped out of the car and found herself in an open meadow, next to a forest. The meadow was not empty there were two large tents which were all filled with people that were making merry. The music, meat being barbecued, endless wine, horses, dogs and the open trunks of weapons everywhere reminded Alix of a scene from a movie__, a movie where a king and his men went hunting for a beast in a forest that was killing the villagers.
After the stories she had heard from Mantis and other system hosts about the things that were done to them, she could figure out what this was, it was a hunting party, the members of this family were royalty and she was the beast.
