[Bonus chapter] Into Rita!

Arad, Alcott, and Ginger flew toward Rita, stopping each night to camp. Arad used those opportunities to stop and hunt bandits for blood. He was especially keen after knowing Alcott's strength. The quest forward is going to be a problem. What kind of horrors is awaiting in the city of criminals, Rita?

On the third day, Arad landed in the middle of a forest. "We arrived. We will walk there from here. We don't want anyone seeing you after all." Alcott said, looking around at the thick forest.

"I know." Arad nodded, transforming into his humanoid form after Ginger walked down his wing.

The group walked a bit until they reached the edge of Rita's mountain. Alcott led them to a small cave entrance. "This is the way."

As they got closer, a man wearing a black hood and leather armor walked out. He extended his hand to them, "Entrance fee, pay before getting in."

Alcott approached the man, "Of course." CRACK! He punched him in the face, throwing him to the side.
