Scarlet and the mages of Celestia have been working tirelessly since the events of a few weeks ago to keep the calamities there contained, and protect those who chose to remain there.

I'm sure that you've all had a long and difficult journey, however, and so I won't delay you here any longer. Captain Shelby," she turned to address the Knight who had greeted Akosua upon their arrival, "perhaps you could give them a tour of the temple grounds, before showing them to their quarters?"
