Chapter 51: Open the Gate

They all followed the dwarf for half a day until they reached the kingdom of Kermonth. Large stone walls lined the exterior of the kingdom, and it was nestled next to the ocean with piers extending out into the waters. A large gate blocked their entry with a guard standing inside a small building right outside the gate. There was a large open window that he could be seen from and communicated to.

Zell walked over to the window to introduce himself. "Hello, I am Zell Neuval, of the kingdom of Neuval." He said. "I have come to meet with your ruler."

The guard looked at Zell and then past him to his nonhuman companions standing behind him. He looked back at Zell, then back at them, then back at Zell. "Those ugh, belong to you?" he asked.

"If you are talking about my companions, they are my friends, not my property." Zell said.
