Biased Audience with a Hydra Elder

Countless eyes spotted the party, namely Lunara, as they swam overhead for the city populace to see. The few faces that they could make out from afar were filled with shock and disbelief, but some also showed a demeaning glare. 

Lina was silent but the serene beauty of the city was dulled somewhat by the stares she felt from her own species. Everything was beyond her expectations. The stunning reef defied description and imagination, yet the stares of the hydras grew less friendly the closer they got to the center of the reef. Lina didn't know what to feel at the moment.

Finally, they halted their charge outside one of the most central and grand buildings. It looked like a giant manor constructed from ice, sized for the giant hydras with many courtyards and smaller buildings connected to the main manor.
