Okhema was still as noisy as ever.
Loud children still ran around carelessly, more often than not bumping into him without as much as uttering an apology, leaving that to the embarrassed parents. Birds chirped, music rang out from different alleys and squares, a thousand scents wafted in the air. Anaxa's body was tired, battered, the Titan had made many unwanted changes that he was yet to get used to. Though walking and moving just fine, he was more than aware that it wouldn't be long until he lost that right, too, with Aglaea’s people keeping a close eye on his every move, no doubt waiting for the right moment to silence him.
