[Bonus chapter]Reunion (part 2)

Mia's group reached the plaza right before the time set for the welcoming ceremony. 

Even though all four participating sects competed with each other, they were still just a group of vassals within the greater Bahran Kingdom. As such, some degree of formalities was bound to happen. 

'So we are the last ones to arrive,' Mia thought the second her group reached the plaza. 

It was a wide, open space located at the eastern gate of the outerpost. 

'If I recall correctly, it has something to do with how they settled those lands,' Mia thought, trying to connect the bits and dots that she knew. 

According to the myths, the Tuxi sect colonized those lands by spreading from the east. As such, they kept it as a tradition to greet their guests in the eastern side of the city, as if to show them the safe parts instead of the frontier.
