The beast that hangs over the city has no shape that is reminiscent of any animal known to the common man, but the closest it would be an octopus, with the way its skeletal body stretches over the land.
Its skeletal bodies stretch everywhere over the city, and intertwine with it like the very city was built with it in mind, and as parts of it move closer to each church, they change. The parts of the skeleton near the blue church change into an amalgamation of deep-sea creatures, the parts near the green church change into a fleshy yet ornate tree, and the parts near the white church turn into bird feathers.
The skeletal beast's parts also serve as aerial platforms, which allow the building of more structures within it. It is split into three levels, many of which contain some of the most beautiful and largest buildings within the city. But on top of it, in the very centre of the skeletal beast lies a castle that emanates a purple light, which shines down on everyone around it. The Skeletal mouth opens and wraps itself around the castle as if it is about to eat it, and uses it to protect itself, which looks reminiscent of a dragon's head.
As everyone gazes at all of this, they stare at Avram and point while jumping up and down, and he says, "That's our little Balaur. He is a bit shy, so make sure to be nice when talking to him."
One of the Zenitas stops in front of the ship, and then starts directing us to follow them, and the ship moves following them.

Jumping off the ship, Orb shouts, "WE HAVE LANDED!"
Maple, grabbing his head, says, "You need to behave, we are in a foreign land with foreign people. Respect how they do things here."
With a look of superiority, Orb says, "I have done this quite a few times, unlike you, who has barely ever done so. Of course, I am used to it, and you should start getting used to it if you want to succeed."
Maple pokes at Orb's eyes, says, "Idiot."
Willow, grabbing her shaking head, says, "He might be being rude, but we both know that you're far more talkative when you're not nervous, so calming down will get your view across."
"You're right!"
Orb getting up and holding his eyes says, "You see, I was right, resorting to violence so quickly, how brutish."
Maple gets angry, but as Willow rubs her head, she says, "I am sorry."
Orb, getting close to her, says, "What was that? Say it again, and make it louder so I can hear you this time!"
"I am sorry."
"NOT FORGIVEN! You might be, but that's only if you say, Orb, I love you very, very much, and you're the best brother I can ask for!"
As Maple holds back her anger, Willow pokes Orb in the eyes and then says, "He really is just annoying."
Orb them says, "You abusive duo. That's it, I am leaving and heading out."
Walking over to Iancu, Orb says, "Let's go together."
"I would rather die."
Pushing his face against Iancu, Orb says, "Don't lie to me, I can hear your heartbeat ever since we landed, it's been beating like crazy."
"SO WHAT! It's not like I would want to go with you anyway."
"You lack social skills, so just leave it to me. I will make sure you have as much fun as possible."
"LET GO!" Iancu says, trying to push Orb off him.
Avram, jumping off the ship, says, "That will have to wait."
"Huh?"
"Starting off, all of us need to go to the palace and meet the queen, because if we don't, I might get sent to prison."
"WHAT CRIMES DID YOU COMMIT!"
"Nothing big. I just need to be officially exonerated, or Niflheim may be put into a state of war with Blestemate."
Orb looks at him with a dissatisfied expression, but beside him, he hears Iancu's heart rate drop significantly. So Orb raises his hand and says, "I refuse, I want to go out and see the city."
Avram looking at him says, "Ok you can go, but Iancu I need you to go stop him from being a dumbass."
Orb smashing his face into Iancu says, "You hear that you need to stop me from being a dumbass."
Elbowing Orb in the throat, Iancu sighs with a smile and says, "If I have to, I guess I will."
Turning Avram then says, "The three idiots will go with you, so guys go dressed so you can fit in, we probably have some spare clothes. Willow, Maple, Abbán, Cyrus, Elia, and Dumnorix will come with m-, wait, where the hell is Dumnorix!"
Everyone starts to look around, and then seeing a note on Cyrus's shoulder, Abbán grabs it and reads, "I will be heading out to explore and send my exalted heavenly existence into he eyes of the people of this country. Dumnorix, the greatest in all creation."
"THIS IDIOT!"
Turning to Cyrus, Avram says, "Please go get him. You should be able to sniff him out with your senses."
Abbán, putting his hand on Cyrus, says, "Drag him back here even if you have to use violent force."
Willow, speaking up, says, "Are you guys sure it's ok to send Cyrus out on such a mission by himself?"
Speaking up, Cyrus says, "I will get it done."
Clapping his hands, Avram says, "Now let's all get ready to head off."
-Break-
Walking through the streets with Orb, Ivana, Gheorghe, Wadim, and Suzuka, Iancu looks around and says, "You all look like clowns."
Ivana, Gheorghe, and Wadim all where black cloaks that cover their bodies from head to toe making the only thing being seen it slits they reveal their eyes.
Orb wears a brown, black and gold oversized hooded jacket which goes down to his knees and covers his mouth. The jacket he wears is reminiscent of the oversized clothing that the people of Skydust wear and has the same designs on it. He also has both his ears and his tail out.
"But at least I am a happy clown."
"And a stupid clown."
"Though I wish I were as cute as Suzuka over there."
Suzuka, besides Iancu, wears a purple dress with a top similar to that of a blouse that goes down covering the entire body, and over it she wears another red sleeveless dress with golden designs reminiscent of the animals of Fimbulwinter on it that goes down to a little less than her current purple dress. At the back of her lower waist, there is an opening in both dresses from which she uses her legacy to generate her tails.
Placing her fox mask on, she says, "Why don't you go jump off a bridge?"
Moving over to her and hugging her, Orb says, "Aww, my little lost fox, I love you no matter what."
"Can't even understand insults, but what else could I expect from a subhuman like you. Why don't you go get stabbed in the heart, you motherless bastard?"
Hugging her more, Orb says, "Don't worry, I know you don't mean it, but it still hurts, so I will play more pranks on you later."
Suzuka grabs Orb's head, and as she does, Iancu stares at her, causing her to say, "Do your eyes need some fixing?"
"I was just thinking that not even the most beautiful clothes can make someone like you have class."
Smashes her mask against Iancu's face, and he smashes himself back towards her, and they stare glaring at each other. So Orb gets in between, and says, "Stop! No time for this. What we should be doing is enjoying our time here, don't you agree?"
Ivana, Gheorghe, and Wadim, who still shake and look around them as if they are watching out for someone, so Orb runs up to them, and says, "If you guys are scared of anything, just know I will protect you with my life."
Gheorghe, staring at him says, "You promise?"
"With my life."
Ivana, hugging him, says, "Atalanta was right, you really are the best table anyone could ask for."
"Tab;e?"
"You're nice to sleep on, and you usually have lovely things to take on you."
"I am going to smack her when we get back."
Filled with energy, Wadim says, "So let's show you all around!"
The three of them run forward, and as they do, they point at a giant bone in the city. It is attached to the Balaur, and many large bones like it descend from the creature all around the city.
As everyone arrives up close, they see a series of White six-legged lizard wonderbeasts with large red manes, and Wadim says, "These little cuties are the Solomonar, a wonderbeast that has sticky feet, and is used to traverse to the different points of Balaur around the city."
Seeing it, Orb raises his hand and says, "It looks like it would taste delicious!"
Gheorghe says, "Don't try that, though. Or your head might fall to the ground. They are a necessary part of the city."
Ivana, with her energy exploding, says, "Come on, guys, if you want a good look at the city. Let's go!"
-Break-
As the Solomonar climbs on the body of the Balaur around the city through its ribcage, the three idiots stare down and speak to the three babies riding beside them.
"Over there, as you can see, is one of our three grand churches, the Church of the Cursed Sea, or Neetud Meri. It is one of the country's greatest beauties and stores the history of those from the cursed sea region of Blestemate. A transcendent beauty, and a gift from the cursed sky region," Gheorghe says.
"Now, to your right, flying through the sky, you can see a series of cursed bats flying through the sky. These 20-meter purple and red bats with demonic bodies are our national animal, and are responsible for carrying different packages to people across the entire city, and on some days, the country. If you look now, you can see the adult ones trying the baby ones," Wadim says.
As the bats come closer, it flies over to Suzuka, who raises her fists. But as it lets out a little chirp and lands on Suzuka, she turns to Orb and says, "It's touching me? Do I hug it?"
Gheorghe says, "Go ahead."
As she gives it a big hug, Suzuka says, "Is it alright for this little guy to be flying around by himself, especially with all of those giant boxes?"
"The curse on them makes it so that their bodies can make anything they touch weightless, so it will be fine flying around. Just make sure to give them many kisses to heal their heart," Wadim says.
Taking off her mask, Suzuka gives the cursed bat a kiss, then lets it go on its way, but mere moments later, singing echoes through all of their ears, and Ivana says, "If you watch now, you can see Sumpurnis, and the Cursed land choir."
Looking down into the city, they see a giant wonderbeast walking through, it has a fatty humanoid body and a wolf's head. It is covered in fur which has a texture similar to wood, and from its back trees grow. But those trees are artificially shaped into platforms with seats, and on those seats, a series of Nightmares sing.
"The Cursed land choir is a speciality of the people of my region. The young boys and girls who train their singing voices move through on our wonderbeasts and sing tune so heavenly that even the angels themselves are jealous, now listen to their great song."
As their music rings through the ears of everyone, in front of them images appear, which makes Orb say, "What is this?"
"Many of the members of the Cursed land choir have curses that infect their singing voice, and the images you see a merely a result of it. But do not fear, as it all exists to bring joy to the listener!"
As the song rings through their ears, and the images play out in front of their faces, even the stone-cold Iancu looks out in happiness, and seeing this, everyone smile,s looking at him with Suzuka saying, "What a gross smile."
"SHUT UP!"
