A few days had passed since the events that shook the region. The city of Blackwood had welcomed its inhabitants back, all aware of the achievements of Ethan and his allies. The sun shone brightly in the clear sky, and in the mansion that served as a home for Ethan and his group, they were sitting, having lunch at a small table in the inner courtyard. Aria, with a determined expression, and Lyra, looking somewhat indifferent, shared the meal with Ethan.
"It will soon be three months since I arrived in this world," Ethan said, cutting a piece of meat with his utensils and looking at his companions. "I think it's time to go back. But before that, I must capture the capital of the Kingdom of Ardyn."
Aria nodded firmly. After reflecting on what had happened recently, she decided that she needed to strengthen her resolve, that she had to be as ruthless as Ethan if she wanted to regain her former way of life.
