Back to the Empire 

After leaving Aurae and the other elves, Minos returned to the city where the Continental Tournament had taken place.

After months, his party was still waiting for him, so it was time for him to reunite with his children and wives and finally return to the Black Plain Empire.

It would only take him a few minutes to cross the area between his current location and the city where his family still resided.

Arriving there, he went to the building that had been assigned to his group. He noticed that the surrounding area was tranquil.

But that was to be expected. After all, the tournament had been over for months, and almost all of the participating groups had already returned to their states to make final preparations for the arrival of the aliens.

Even some who had been interested to see what Minos would do after receiving his prize gave up after the second month, feeling that something was wrong and that it might not be worth the wait.
