"Everyone ready?" Alan poked his head out of a bush, a few stray leaves sticking to his hair as he looked back at the group. "Remember, we're just some merchants."
Lucian raised a hand.
"Yes, Lucian?"
"The plan isn't bad." Lucian started. "But what group of merchants travels wearing blindfolds?"
"Uh..." Alan scratched the back of his head.
Indeed, the four of them were wearing their blindfolds.
"And what about Sparky?" Iris interjected, pointing at the creature perched on Julia's shoulder.
Sitting there was a small, vibrant blue cat with bright azure eyes, as a dragon, Sparky possessed the ability of polymorph, allowing him to shift into almost any living form he desired, including a cat.
"Greow." Sparky meowed the moment he caught Alan's gaze, the sound was unnervingly deep, a meow that definitely didn't suit the tiny vessel.
"Uh." Alan scratched his head again. "We'll figure it out on the spot."
