Five hours had passed since the battle ended.
The chaos that had engulfed Glimmereach Castle was finally settling down. The injured guests had been treated, the surviving soldiers were restoring order, and the bodies of both allies and enemies had already been removed from the ruined wedding hall.
Night had fallen over the floating city.
Thousands of magic circles beneath the floating city maintaining its thrust.
Inside one of the castle's dining rooms, a rare peaceful scene was unfolding.
A large table was filled with food while Ron, Lia, Maera, Selene, Drevin, Valeriana, Zayne, and Zane sat together eating. After everything that had happened, everyone looked exhausted.
For a while, only the sounds of cutlery and occasional conversation filled the room.
Then Zane put down his plate.
"Anyway, now that this is over, it's my cue to leave."
The conversation paused.
Ron looked up from his food while Lia blinked in surprise.
Zane, however, continued as casually as ever.
