☀️ Arselia and Akonia

Wyverns didn't seem particularly remarkable to Alaria; they didn't stand out much among the average inhabitants of the Azure Coast. Perhaps the only thing worth noting was the lack of a well-established name. Why didn't the author call them, say, "rock riders"? After all, they live in the rocks and enjoy riding their lovers. Perhaps, if fate ever brings her together with a "researcher" of the Azure Coast, she should suggest this idea to him. Satyr stood out due to their unusual level of civilization compared to most Azure Coast inhabitants, although probably not to the same extent as the lamias. At least, the encyclopedia didn't mention anything about satyrs outside the Azure Coast. Overall, despite certain aspects, they felt like the most "safe" of the inhabitants of the southern region. Furthermore, they reminded the tanar'si of one of the main reasons she had stopped indulging in alcohol. However, the description of the dullahan involuntarily made the warrior touch her neck. Considering the nuances of their mission, in case of failure, she could very well end her journey as one of them... which wasn't such a bad fate. The only thing was that she would need to somehow secure her head in place. Otherwise, perhaps the only problem would be "sustenance," but with her appearance and due persistence, this hardly presented any problems in terms of implementation. Although, of course, it would take a long time to get used to such a "lifestyle," but the second... third chance is a third chance. And a detachable head opens up certain possibilities for experimentation... Catching herself thinking that she was drifting too far off course, undoubtedly due to the encyclopedia's bad influence, the tanar'si began reading the last chapter. Strangely, compared to all the previous ones, this one felt extremely moderate. So much so that it was even somewhat disappointing. Well, anyway, the reading turned out to be quite... informative, let's say. Although perhaps not the best choice when far from most of civilization's comforts. And, as the author rightly noted, it left many questions behind. One of these questions was... why did Kenshiro even bring such a book with him?! But the answer came to mind on its own – because he was going on a long journey, far from the comforts of civilization. As always, the samurai was full of surprises.
