Asrea, Jibani, and Alaric walk out of the palace as a group of thirty soldiers approach with Victoria at the front and Deron, Maya, and Kairon closely behind her.
"Hey!" Victoria shouts with a massive smile as she approaches, "I'm glad to see that the three of you are okay! Where is everyone else?"
"Ronz left while Leon, Rolia, and Jirin decided to return to the cliff," Alaric explains, "What about the rest of the Diamond Wolves?"
"Around half of us were sent to the Core to be reserve soldiers for a few months..." Deron answers, "Then the rest of us, except for those here right now, were sent to the border to assist with repairs and other issues... Diana and Felair are leading that group..."
"Minaric is with us as well, but he is working with another unit for the day," Maya adds
"Where is Ray?" Kairon questions.
"Well..." Jibani sighs, "He overexerted himself and now he's in a coma. We aren't sure when he'll wake up."
