Oh how the minutes went on rather fast. The entire group had gotten to Stigma in a matter of minutes after they all went into their respective duos. Nadeline and Wesley had their bags packed. Jaakuna no doubt knew that the two of them would be staying in Stigma. Nadeline had announced it and Wesley would stay just cause the two of them are now engaged, and plus the other reason was obviously to just make sure nothing happened to Nadeline. Wesley had pretty much volunteered to do it. Savayna tried not to say anything. It wasn’t like she could say anything to change the outcome of things. She didn’t know about grant, though.

When they touched ground, the group walked along the streets until a group of giggling girls stopped them. Nadeline would converse with their leader, Mikaela. When Nadeline had asked where Aloa was, Mikaela would inform her that Aloa was not in Stigma. Nadeline would then ask about Vlyn and say that he was overseeing the palace and that Lorenzo was placed in charge of things while Aloa was gone with Reia. When that was done, Nadeline, as Wesley saw, was in a deep thought about this all. As the group of little girls would depart, the group would head on their way to the palace. 

When they arrived in front of the palace, a guard stopped them and asking who they were. Nadeline would state her name and in that same instant, the guard let them through. As they all would walk through the front parts of the palace, they walked across a lake. To Savayna, Jaakuna, and Wesley’s surprise, pillars rose from beneath the water, and created a path for them to walk on. The Rozarrians no doubt were used to this, but the other three were definitely not used to this at all. The three of them carefully walked as they wished not to fall in the water. 

As they continued to walk across the lake, Nadeline would explain a little about the history of Rozarria and state that her ancestors were frequent targets of enemy nations. She would then further state that they asked the gods for a place to be safe. So, the gods told them to go to a place in the desert and place a single seed in the middle of it. As Nadeline continued, she said that this place was surrounded by millions of blooming flowers, but they all melted and thus how Rozarria got its name. The other three found that extremely fascinating. Wesley actually found it quite beautiful and very fitting.

Eventually, they came to get off the walkway and found themselves in some garden or something like that. They would just let Nadeline lead without saying much. Though, Wesley would speak. [b]“Truly Stigma’s palace puts the Royal Palace of Rabanastre to shame.”[/b] He said as he was in complete awe, though he shouldn’t be. 

Jaakuna looked to Wesley chuckling. [b]“And Archades doesn’t really have anything like this. Damn Imperials being too militant.”[/b] He said in a huff. Savayna laughed as Jaakuna said that. [b]“I’m right there with ya, Jaakie!”[/b] She said and Jaakuna glared at her, but responded not.
