Seated near a campfire with their tents set up, Harpya and the others gather to recount the day's findings.

  Captain of the first platoon: -Harpya, we managed to get some basic relic parts, but we were attacked by strange creatures and suffered some casualties.

  Harpya:

  Captain of the first platoon: -No, but some were injured in the attacks, besides the people who were extracting the relics who had to speed up the process and probably damaged them in the process.

  Harpya is relieved, but he can't stop thinking about what the captain said and goes to sit near Nyx.

  Edward brings a cup of coffee for the two of them and joins the campfire.

  Harpya visits the wounded and then goes to sleep.

  The days pass and the exploration continues, many battles and old enemies for Harpya, but new ones for Volny's soldiers emerge.

  Casualties are high, but no deaths, and the soldiers collect as many basic relics as possible. Harpya talks to Edward about returning to the central city to try and get more quality relics and perhaps Saint Gorb's bestiary.

  Harpya: We've been here for two weeks now, and although we've collected many relics, some of them don't seem to be of such high quality. It's time to go to the heart of the crisis.

  Edward:

  Harpya:Edward

  Edward seemed hesitant, but he had no faster or less dangerous option to return to the capital.

  Harpya sends a letter to the king and Ida saying that they will soon return with news about their findings.

  Harpya tells the soldiers about her plan and asks them not to separate this time; the soldiers agree and set off on their journey.
