As Victoria, Gabriella, Sylx, and Riva approached the grand entrance, they were met with a formidable gate, imposing and seemingly impenetrable. However, after a brief pause, the gate slowly creaked open, revealing a pathway for anyone who intended to exit. As the group waited, a figure emerged from the shadows beyond the gate, their silhouette slowly taking shape as they approached. The person who greeted them was none other than Sarah, the spirit mage, emanating an aura of mystique and power.
Gabriella: "It's been a while, Sarah."
Sarah: "Oh really? I haven't noticed it much since I spend most of my time aiding the forest monarch and befriending the spirits around here."
"I did get the message of you four arriving here sometime soon. By Seeing you all here I assume that things at the Bluemond Barony?"
Riva: "Yep, it went without a hitch."
Sarah: "And this must be the Saintess herself."
