We had to slay the dragon Dominari far to the east. Well, okay, she had to. I was just along to provide support. I had no idea why. It was some ancient tradition that Acolytes of the Goddess Saphique would journey with the female Knights Deute on their initiation Quests. It was stupid.

The city of Shesax was bustling. I was surprised that so many people were awake. The sun had barely risen. Shouldn't they be asleep for hours more? I tried to never be awake so early, unless I had some stupid duty to attend at the temple. There were so many of them.
"The city sure is bustling," I said, trying to start a conversation. "Is something going on?"
