Inside the citadel was a beautiful bathroom. Much larger than a normal person's home. A male with raven black hair and a muscular body emerged from the dazzling blue water.
Mystical properties improving rejuvenation, healing and minerals that benefited the skin filled the azure water to the brim.
The water flowed straight from the Drakkur mountain springs, which protected the capital city. This spring is said to be the home of the black dragon flight.
Their ancestors, the twin serpents fabled to have evolved in that pool.

Asura felt his exhaustion and confusion from losing a month fade. The warm current of water comforting his aching body.
'I feel rejuvenated. However, Verana will join the academy one year earlier than expected.'
He felt a happy change now, but before, it might have caused a disaster. Once again, feeling his fate seemed strange.
'Am I free?'
