XXV: Papers Part I

When I finally came back to my senses, Bataar led us to another section of the meadow where there was a big group of women and their households, all waiting in line to get to a desk, where an old man and a girl around the age of Khulan, stood going over papers. We found the others waiting for us not too far from where the line ended. They were mostly unscathed, even if Zhihao had his arm in a sling that looked way too new for our torn and weathered clothes.

“Princess!” The only two surviving males of our party received me with relieved smiles.

“Is this the rest of your party?” A female voice called, making my companions and me turn. The woman in front of us was, for lack of a better term, gorgeous. She reminded me so much of Priscilla, with her perfect features, only that this woman had long, black hair and eyes. Her smile beckoned, and her skin gleamed with immaculate cleanliness.
