Chapter Seven

Asher

With a bounce in his step, Asher walked through the downtown streets of Cadia. It was always an interesting excursion. There was a mixture of human and animal forms in all their varied appearances.

Bears were most predominant, being the most populous species, though wolves were right behind. Several territorial wars in the past between the two had not worked out in the wolves’ favor, which kept their numbers down, though lately they had begun to rebound. They bred faster and generally had more pups than the bears did cubs.

Overhead a pair of dragons circled, while higher in the sky a gryphon eyeballed them, as if waiting for the right moment to make its dive run. Asher knew it wouldn’t, not in Cadia itself. There was, generally speaking, a permanent truce in place between the different types of shifters. If you were a bear and you headed south to where the wolves guarded the border, or north to where the tigers and lions patrolled the vast plains, then you were on your own.

But in Cadia? Everyone was expected to behave.

“Asher,” said a walking colossus as he moved past him, heading the opposite direction.

“Ranger,” he replied with a nod of his head at the bear shifter. He didn’t know Rick “Ranger” Podnam very well, but they had met during a drunken night and teamed up to take on a quartet of very angry wolf shifters who thought they could get the better of the pair.

It hadn’t gone well for the canines.

Since then the pair had been friends, if not overly tight. Asher didn’t pause to talk though; he was on a mission that morning.

The building that served to house Cadia’s government and services, such as they were, loomed over him. It was a five-story building—a monstrosity compared to most of town, where few buildings were over three stories—and it was all rounded sides, a flowy design that did nothing for him.

That was where Cadia Immigration was located though. They were the department that handled permissions for all non-shifters to enter, and gave passports to all shifters who wished to leave. He shouldered his way in through the door and approached the desk. There wasn’t a line. There never was. Few shifters ever wanted to leave, and even fewer humans wanted to come in.

Both sides liked it better that way.

“Yes, what can I do for you?” the elderly woman at the counter asked before he’d even stepped up to her desk.

“I’d like to file the necessary forms for passage. One human into Cadia,” he said, sitting down in the chair.

The woman eyed him for a moment, and then reached behind her to a drawer and pulled out a stack of paper.

“Fill these out, and then give us several days to check them over.”

“Thank you,” he said, nodding as he picked up a pen and began to fill them out. He’d grilled Quinn this morning on all the standard information, so that he knew what to put down for that. He just hoped that there wasn’t some sort of wild question on there that he hadn’t asked her.
