Inside the city, Liam's first reaction was a bright, genuine smile.
The moment he stepped past the gates, he was hit by the noise, color, and motion of what could only be called a true fantasy world.
The streets were wide and uneven, paved with old gray stones polished smooth by centuries of footsteps. Stalls lined both sides of the road, draped with colorful fabrics and filled with fruit, pottery, and leather goods.
People bustled everywhere but what caught Liam's attention wasn't the human crowd.
It was the few figures that stood out among them.
They looked human at first glance, until you noticed the ears. Long, soft, twitching ears. Some were pointed like a fox's, others round like a bear's, some tall and slender like a rabbit's. Their tails flicked subtly with each movement.
Beastkin.
