Keeva Kaldres and Skay Ravendi

The two guards continued with their smiles as they took the visas, gave a cursory glance at the papers before handing it back to the two women. At the same instance where they had handed the papers back, both women were being sized up visually in terms of their appearances, especially if they bore any weapons.

"Welcome to the Red Island of Eunesia, ladies, please proceed." The first guard, the one with impish dark hair and a somewhat easy smile continued, his posture relaxed somewhat. After all, both women would soon find out about the seemingly sexist attitude that the Secyclion society possess, even amongst the women. One won't think that a woman could pose as too much of a threat.

Women were the second class gender in the male dominated patriarchal City; and while you don't get the women abused openly on the streets, certain issues such as gender roles were very specific on the Island and women are expected to butt out of certain affairs and at the same time required to fulfill certain criteria of every Brightening routines. The two were accorded the minimal respect and perhaps even interests because they were tourists.

"If you possess any form of weaponry, please register them at the custom's office." The guard's voice would ring out from behind the two as they proceeded toward two women, who would reach out to place two flower garlands over the neck of Keeva, and then the Dracon in her Half-Elven guise, followed by lithing voices that carried with genuine joy.

"Welcome to Secyclion!"
