When Raven made it back to the dark sand beach, he was a few companions short. Linkle had gone ahead with Mono to converse with Elenaria–a deal with the cosmic wizard was her plan, to gain access to material required for the more effective sort of teleportation equipment. Erika, too, had taken her leave. A quick trip back to Athenia would give her mind some much-needed relief about any potentially lurking threat on the plateau's horizon.
The rest followed him without question, for they too were curious about this new development at Alliance. Arriving at the beach was chaos in itself; the people of Elenaris weren't thrilled to see a half-dragon woman accompanying the hero, and the beach itself was cluttered with survivors from two different cities.
Finding Regalia in the chaos of wanderers proved to be quite the challenge, but as the two groups finally collided, the wolf-girl didn't waste a second to tell him what was going on.
