Eventually, after an afternoon and evening of driving around. They come to their last stop. The place they'll be staying at. For how long? They don't know.
Everyone in the back of the car flinches when the back doors are opened.
Alright. Come with children.
Commands the guardian as they use one hand to grab and pick up the unconscious draconic one off the floor and carries them easily as if they were a weightless rice bag. The children, worried about what will happen if they do not obey, follow him.
They follow him into a seemingly large house with high concrete fences and walls in the middle of a relatively expensive looking neighborhood.
They are lead to the rooms that will be considered their living quarters. Which you think would be in the main areas like a normal house. But no. They are instead lead into a series of connected rooms inside the basement with no windows. Basic bedding. Not really much of anything other than that and the most basic of lighting.
And they're all told to stay there. Except for one.
Mari is then lead to a different room. Alone.
