February 3rd.
In the territory of Aran, the Imperial City, Dragon Stone Square, Aran National Museum.
The grand square, with pathways paved in cobblestone and sparkling gravel, is uniquely scenic. At a bench beside a garden outside the museum, a freckled newsboy sells the "Aran Epoch Weekly."
Sharon sat on the bench. With her status as a Priest, except during sacrificial rituals, she no longer needed to wear a nun's hat, but she still wore the black clergy attire with a white shawl and a silver necklace bearing the Dragon Lord emblem, just like Marcus once did, her left arm adorned with an armband symbolizing her priestly rank.
She bought a newspaper for the price of two copper coins.
As a semi-official media outlet of Aran, the news was generally serious.
It distilled the major news from around the world over the past week.
