After following Rani for a while the group finally arrived at the spot that the priestesses had secured for them to watch the parade. It was in the central district, neither too far nor too close to the gate leading into the city. It was the perfect spot to get a good look at each group the moment they entered and as they walked past them toward the meeting hall in the central government building.
Rune looked around and complimented the trio on a job well done.
"Nice work, you three," he said.
Raya joined in with some kind words of her own and said, "Yeah, this is a great spot."
Ali crossed her arms and sniffed like it was no big deal. Rani raised her chin and grinned pridefully, and Gabi adjusted her glasses while remaining as blank-faced as ever.
I decided to change Nereid from being called a democratic kingdom to calling them a Scientific Union. It just makes more sense when considering what they are all about. To be honest, I had trouble with how to properly classify their government when I first mentioned them, so this change has been a long time coming.
