For the next few weeks, you were Arkair's personal pet. Like she promised, you were taken good care of. You were fed three times a day. The food was a little strange though. You were given water, strange fruits of all kinds, and a spicy tasting meat that you couldn't identify.
You were allowed to come and go as you pleased. You would spend most of the day exploring the city. It was a true wonder to behold. The buildings were a mix between Roman and Mayan architecture. With marble columns, and carved walls.
When it was time for bed, you would curl up on Arkair's stomach, and she would stroke you until you fell asleep. All in all, it wasn't a bad life.
