Archer watched as Eastwatch City came into view on the horizon. The three had been staying in their room for the last week, ordering food, enjoying themselves while waiting to arrive at Draconia's biggest trading port. He'd been there once but didn't pay attention as he was heading somewhere.
Thanks to his eyesight, he was able to see hundreds of ships coming and going, guided by the massive lighthouse the empire built at the port's entrance. He modeled it after the Lighthouse of Alexandria on Earth. When Malakia and Meredith saw the building, they were shocked, amazed, and confused.
Their eyes widened as the lioness commented, voice full of awe. ''What is that thing, husband? And why is it so big?''
''The Draconian Lighthouse,'' he answered, grinning ear to ear. ''I created it just after Freya was born to guide ships into harbor. We had a few crashes before it was built, causing the empire to pay out thousands of gold.''
