Once he was done speaking with King Petros, Wolfe quickly returned to Forest Grove, ready to face the building chaos of a celebration party for the Saints.
However, what he found was a lot of tense anticipation and new mages flocking through the city, seeing the sights and meeting new people.
"What's the holdup? I thought that the party would be in full swing by now." Wolfe asked the clerk at the first stall he passed.
"We're waiting for you to return and take the stage with your Pentacles. They said that it wasn't appropriate to start the party while you were still working, and it's early, so we're just meeting the new people.
You didn't get in trouble for taking them, did you? It's not exactly a secret that they were considered enemies of the Fallen Empire, and you were meeting with King Petros."
