Departure

As the news of dragons in the forest and a tamed Kraken reached the imperial court, the world grew increasingly chaotic. A peaceful life, or what remained of it, was quickly unraveling. Dragons, Kraken, and other mythical creatures were not something anyone ever expected to encounter, yet they were now part of everyone's reality.
