Passing through the gate they entered Plegia's capital, the streets were filled with sand and the cold was a nice change of pace, the great Dragon skull was a breathtaking sight looming in the distance, almost as if it watched over the city, the capital was quiet and devoid of most activity, a few drunks here and there with the usual shady looking person in every corner. The city seemed calm and peaceful, for the moment at least. 
After a few minutes, they arrived at the stables, they were like any other stable, the only difference was the sand, it was everywhere in town, apart from that there were a few dim lights around, they belonged to the stable and a bar next to it, there was some mud on the floor and a well next to the carriage.
Greyer took the horses and pegasi from the Shepherds one at a time with Phill as they put away the horses and pegasi in the stables. When all the horses were safely in the stables, except for Alicia’s pegasus and Andrew, Greyer took this moment to speak to the Shepherds, he took a rag and began to clean his forehead, and sighted in relief, they made it in safe so he could finally relax a little, " Now y'all keep yerselfs out of trouble, I'd invite you to stay but it gets crowded with soldiers here at day and I’d think ya want to avoid them, there's an inn that don't ask that many questions as long as ya pay up not that far in that direction "he pointed to the road next to the bar "now fer yer horses, If ya like, I can keep them here."
Phill took out his lances, a large cloth and his armor out of the carriage and thanked his old friend, “Andrew will be staying here” he told him. Andrew huffed with pleasure as he walked cheerfully towards Greyer, who petted him and smiled back and said “He’ll be in good hands, ya know that”
 Phill then walked towards Alicia, this group was growing by the day and Phill kind of liked the atmosphere there but, it went against his orders, he was basically committing high treason, could he even go back to his post now? Only if he wasn't found out anyway, and he didn’t think these people would betray him, the time he’s spent with them proved that, or did it, these thoughts lingered in his mind, but he decided to do what he could do then and that was help these unfortunate people and well, getting to know them was a start, so he talked to her as he tried to make a makeshift flatbed for Zaino using both his lances and the large cloth " Pegasus girl, I haven't introduced myself, I'm Phill, and I give you my word that this man is reliable, if you leave your Pegasus with him, it will be taken care of, may I know your names?" he said in a friendly maner to Alicia and her Pegasus.
