Chapter 522: Astraya's Leadership
Tala—Terry on her shoulder—Rane, and Lyn stood in what appeared to be the command area for the moving village of Astraya, the heavy doors just shutting behind them.
As soon as they were truly closed, Tala dismissed her armor as doing otherwise would have been rather rude. She and Rane also released their veils.
The room, while holding a clear feel of importance and command, was just as obviously designed to be a comfortable place in which to be.
There were several distinct sitting areas, and two people rose to greet them from one such. Tala was surprised to find that both were gated. Specifically, they both appeared to be unveiled Paragon gated.
The woman was actually rather short, even shorter than Tala by a couple of inches. Her hair was red-brown and incredibly long as it nearly reached the ground, even while woven into a tight braid that did little to hide just how curly it was.
Her skin was starkly pale, covered with a smattering of freckles that highlighted her blue-gray eyes in a rather enchanting fashion.
Her round face was further set off by the almost phantasmal cat ears poking up through her hair. And as soon as Tala noticed those, she saw obvious traces of similarly phantasmal cat hair in tufts and swatches all over the woman's body, not in a mangy sort of way, but as if they were there as visual augments to her already noticeable beauty.
What is this now?
-Huh… the ears and other non-human features are definitely a part of her, there is not a distinction between reality nodes. They don’t seem to be an illusion either.-
