Gaia

The city of Gaia was surrounded by three layers of thick walls as its defense.

The Cibus Clan, just like the Corporali Clan, was not meant for fighting. But the fact that most of the food for the kingdom came from the Cibus Clan meant that it had a lot of grains and other valuable essentials stored within its walls.

Naturally, it had to be well guarded.

"Keep your head down." Connor reminded Nicholas, who was sharing a horse with him.

"What is your business in Gaia?" A guard said as he stopped their group from entering.

"Travelers from Ayr to Kronos. We need to replenish our supplies, buy a horse for one that died, and find a place to rest our heads." Ysmira declared, speaking for the group.

"Do all you Corporali mages allow your women to speak for you?" The guard asked, mocking the men of the group.

"She answered you, what business do you have with who answers your questions?" Nicholas asked from behind Connor.
