In the imperial palace of Dry City...
Many nobles of the empire could be seen in the corridors of the first level of the local government headquarters, from those directly subordinate to Minos to those more distant.
Lee and Alison were there with their family, as well as Peter and Mia, many of them taking the opportunity to see again people they hadn't seen in years.
With the development of the Black Plain, some of Minos' most trusted people had spread throughout the empire to take care of state affairs.
Because of this, some of them had not seen each other for years, and on this occasion, they couldn't help but greet their old friends and companions who had walked the journey here with them in the most difficult times.
Old Joey saw Peter, Barbara, Milton, and Robin again, the people he had met during the time of slavery they had spent together.
