The two guilds, the Crimson Nova Guild and the Dancing Dragons ventured into the village with the village chief with the Dancing Dragons. As of the time, the fog was yet to re-emerge which gave them a more clearer path through the village.
The residents of the village? Safely locked inside their various homes. The fog appeared randomly at any given time, in short it was an unpredictable supernatural event. It had no specific time duration for it's emergence.
"So... Abigail, I really have to know. Why did you join the Dancing Dragons guild?" Lucy asked, all ears opening wide as they awaited the princess's answer.
Even the two captains had their ears opened, it was somewhat a once in a lifetime event that a member of royal blood would join a guild ran by commoners. Usually, after clearing the Soul-Hunter's exam a royal blood runs their own guild as they are already blessed hereditarily.
