At the start of a new day, Dresbert woke up to the sound of Vicente's train horn, which arrived in the city early in the morning, crossing the metropolis of over 300,000 inhabitants.
The 11 magicians who had come alongside Lauren and him observed the city with a unique feeling, as they saw people coming out of their homes to wave at them and smile in satisfaction.
When had a Dark Path magician ever generated such an effect? Normally, they were viewed negatively, with looks of disgust, contempt, and fear. Seeing in Dresbert looks of joy and hope on the faces of not one or two people, but thousands, contaminated the mood of those 11 individuals.
They knew this collective joy was not for them. Still, being welcomed, even if it was on someone else's account, was a good thing anyway.
Soon the train slowed down to a speed close to that of the people walking in the streets, who were watching this strange vehicle.
