Chapter 55
Danse Sombras Oasis, Pacific Coastal Hephaestus mountain range Republic of Hephae, Continent: Barat, the Year 2043, Planet: Grimoire
Two days passed after the banquet, and Chester and Clarence enjoyed a rare moment when they could just walk around and explore all the various areas of the oasis. Much to their surprise and delight, many people they'd worked with as artisans in the mountains finally descended to the oasis as traveling merchants. They'd taken up their artistry and specialty weapons to protect themselves against anything suspicious.
Clarence regarded the two ancient dragons, Blaevan and Grendar. "So, when did you two actually bestir yourselves to come down?" This was something of a surprise. Chester had hustled off with Calliope and Emilia. The two girls were mated, so Clarence wasn't worried about them hanging around Chester. He'd gained the distinct impression that they viewed him as the one needing protection instead.
