The moment they stepped fully into the city, everyone slowed down without meaning to.
Dahlia turned her head left, then right. "So… this is a demon city."
Arden scanned the streets carefully. "It's not that different from a human city."
He was right.
There were buildings stacked close together, narrow streets filled with noise, stalls selling food and strange items, and groups of people talking loudly.
The only difference was that none of them were human.
Horns, wings, tails, sharp teeth. Some demons looked almost human, others barely did.
And the violence.
Two demons were arguing near a stall. One shoved the other.
A moment later, fists were flying.
A guard walked over slowly, watched for a few seconds, then crossed his arms.
The fight ended when one demon slipped something into the guard's hand.
The guard nodded. "Take it somewhere else."
Both demons bowed slightly and dragged their injured friend away.
Dion stared. "…That was fast."
