In a remote airport not far from Possum Springs, a restored pre-World War One Etrich Taube sported in green and white had just landed on the asphalt tarmac. On board was none other than Emperor Splero 'Spleriia' Kerano and Crown Prince Kalir 'Kian' Kerano. Both the Spleranese human monarch and his Akita wolf-dog hybrid heir arrived for something economic but not for Splero though. Kalir was actually being escorted by his father to the place since the Crown Prince would be staying in the Possum Springs for a few days as part of the imperial exploration of the Empire. All what Splero have to do now was to leave his son, return back to Splena and hope that his son would have a normal time during his stay in the very city.

As the plane was being briefly parked on the apron, Kalir disembarked with a knapsack on his paws. Splero remained on his pilot seat.

'Thanks for the ride, Dad.'

'You're welcome, Son. Are you sure that you'll be fine here in Possum Springs for a few days?'

'Of course. Malir told me that this place was quite quaint enough.'

'OK then.'

Splero donned his flying goggles.

'Alright. I'm going to contact you soon. May Splena guide you in your very stay here.'

'OK. Goodbye, Dad. I'll contact you once I'm done in assessing myself here.'

'Sure. Good luck, Son.'

Kalir saluted to his father. Splero saluted back as he taxied the plane towards the tarmac again. Kalir walked through the airport's small terminal and when he approached to the entrance, he captured a glimpse of Splero's monoplane taking off from a distance. With a sigh, he entered the terminal.

...

Inside, the wolf-dog approached to the male golden retriever that was standing in the counter.

'Good day and welcome to Possum Springs Regional Airport. Can I help you?'

'Ah. Good day to you too. Mind if I ask you a simple question?'

'Sure thing. What is it, Sir?'

'Does this airport have a taxi cab service or something?'

'Oh, yes. This airport have a taxi cab service available.'

'OK. Thanks, man.'

'You're welcome, Sir. The exit is on the right. Have a great day here in Possum Springs.'

Kalir nodded as he walked towards to the exit. Once he got out, he saw a yellow taxi cab that was parked nearby. There was also a male cheetah leaning on the hood.

'Excuse me, dude.'

The cheetah noticed him.

'Yes?'

'Are you looking for a fare?'

'Yeah. Do you need a ride?'

'Yes. I wanted to head to a place called '80-30 Paw Avenue', man'.

'80-30 Paw Avenue, huh?'

Kalir nodded.

'Sure thing, Sir. Have a seat in the car and we'll be off shortly.'

The wolf-dog did what he said. The taxi cab then departed from the airport terminal and onto Possum Springs.
