Early the next day, Cygnus together with Astrophos who was already disguised as Astros and Mr. C set out towards the Magic Tower. The ride was silent since the butler was not into talking and the master was pretending to be asleep. It took them thirty minutes to finally reach their destination.
They alighted from the carriage and found that the elder was waiting for them together with his apprentice. There were no other people beside them which was much to Cygnus's preference because he doesn't want to gain any attention.
Once all of his luggage was brought out, Celes teleported them directly to his room which was in the Hall of Time. Since Astro was there as an aide, he was given the room beside the Cygnus's then they proceeded to tour the place.
While walking on the halls lit by magic, Celes did not forget to explain how the Magic Tower works and what were the things they needed to take note of while staying there. He also explained the overall structure of the tower.
