As the royal knights rode upon their finely bred horses, their polished armor catching the last amber rays of the descending sun, Gideon Crescent sat beside Kiara inside the LMV, his posture elegant and composed, though his eyes betrayed a restless curiosity that had been growing ever since they departed from Lunaris City.
Gideon had experienced many forms of travel in his life. He had ridden in luxurious horse carriages whose velvet interiors softened every jolt, galloped across open plains on spirited horses, crossed rugged terrain atop a horned spirit rhinoceros, and even soared through the skies on the back of a drake.
Yet sitting beside Kiara in this strange metal carriage was an entirely different sensation.
The vehicle hummed like a restrained beast.
The seat beneath her was firm but comfortable.
