It took less than two hours before Hades saw the Queen's mansion resting quietly in the heart of the capital.
Modest in height, not overly decorated, and yet—every time he looked at it—a strange sense of peace washed over him. A gentle calm, as if the very walls breathed serenity.
Kaya descended slowly, massive body slowing down as the giant white dragon settled on the ground. Her arrival startled half the street. Guards stiffened, spears rising instinctively, but the instant they recognized Hades, their posture broke—heads lowered, weapons dropped. Respect replaced fear in a heartbeat.
Hades stepped down with his two companions, glancing at Kaya's enormous form before asking, "Would you like to come with us, Kaya?"
Averis stepped forward, ever composed. "We will take a round around the capital, my Lord."
Hades gave a small shrug. "Alright. Just don't push yourself too much."
Without waiting, Averis approached Kaya and said, "Transform. We'll walk."
