Coming out of the Mage Academy, Jack went outside the capital and summoned Pandora. Most of the army had left by now, but their residue could still be felt. Jack couldn't imagine the sight of more than two million people gathering. It must have been glorious. He should have taken the time to take a look yesterday.
Some regiments were still around in the distance. These must have been the remains that were still making the last preparation before they chase after the marching army.
Jack rode Pandora and went to the back of Mount Thenias behind the capital. He soon arrived at the base of Blacksmith Circle. He came into the hall and called. He didn't just go in because he remembered they had traps along the entrance hallway. Plus, it would be rude to go in unannounced.
A human came out and asked what's his business. Jack announced his identity and said he wanted to meet with either Grenmir or Haestus.
