A large campfire was fitted in the centre of the village; although it was huge, the current population was barely above a village.
In the centre was the black pillar; sitting beside it at the head of the table was Zell, with a strange dining order; for the starter, he sat with Anya, Tessa, Rika and Griselda, eating together as the other's kept their distance.
For the main course, Cryska, Alizée, Elisé and Edelgard sat at his table, serving him the meat and fish dishes alternatively; somehow, despite normally bickering, they got along much better.
"Zell, are you going to let our Lupus tribe have the southern forest all to ourselves!?" Edelgard asked, her little face slightly red from the sweet white wine.
She liked fish more than meat, enjoying some of the strange monster fish that resembled kippers and snappers in Asteria, but were now triple the size.
