Gude, clad in heavy armor, carried a gleaming halberd and was the first to step out of the Caliph Royal City's gate, followed by dozens of rotund Panta Warriors with fierce black rings around their eyes.

Liu Zhenhan had long heard of the renowned Princess Nancy from Kalimantan and, at last, she appeared before him.
The Liger Princess bore wheat-gold locks, a black 'king' character on her forehead, a cute button nose with a touch of freckles, and stood at least two meters tall. Slender yet not ungainly, she carried a hint of the kingly aura of His Majesty Grecke Sal, looking down upon the world with a commanding presence. Although not strikingly beautiful, she had a distinct martial charm.
