Once Marcus, Mrazivý, and Miguel met back up with the other eleven members of their party, the eleven of them immediately departed from Houten's old capital.
They had already accomplished their goals here and knew that staying any longer would only increase tensions. While it was unlikely there was a possibility that if they stuck around that Amlodd or his supports might work up the nerve to enact "justice" on them.
Of course, this time there was no leisurely escort mission, so they all flew back to the capital cities adventurer's guild at full speed.
Within the same day their party reached the city and used the guildhall's teleportation circle to return to Borealia.
"Ah, it feels good to be home." Mrazivý said, stretching out her arms and releasing a long sigh.
"Yes, it really is comforting." Alaric said, agreeing with the sentiment.
There truly was something constraining about being somewhere far from what you knew.
