After Ssarak alerted the caravan master of safe passage, as well as Lyn's return, the wagon moved into the bandit camp. They couldn't take everything since there wasn't enough space on the wagon, so taking only what was most valuable the group loaded up and left the camp behind. The group would travel until nightfall, where they would have an uneventful night, before waking up and heading to Hysteria shortly after high noon.

Hysteria was a chaotic and colorful looking place. Unlike the generally drab and weary feel of Djarkel, Hysteria was charged with emotion and partial insanity. Street performers of all types of acts flooded the streets, playing their sings and preforming their dances. Occasionally a fight would break out, but the absurd of some of thee fights made it hard to discern what was a real brawl or an elaborate improv. Either way, the college students would not stay long. The caravan master arrived to his destination with new cargo, but with a sour feel for the college students. He made no comment on how he intended to judge them, but the look in his eyes certain said that the college left an impression on him. "You'd fit right in here." Was all he said on the matter.

In Hysteria the group would later be contacted by the members of a different caravan group known as the Scarlet Traveler; Lucilia's own personal caravan. They received word to be on the look out for the group and offered them a ride back to the college, since they too needed to report in with Lucilia on their business. And being a caravan that employed vampires, they were capable of making the trip back to the college in only one day, utilizing both beasts and drivers who required no rest.

Once at the college the guards let the group through the gates. One of the guardsmen, the newer ones, came up to the group and told them that Lucilia would like to meet with one of them to get a report of the mission, as well as any evidence found. Everyone else was free to go about their business, and will receive compensation for their mission after she receives the report.

All the while Lucilia had spent the last few days with business as usual. She been having her caravans work around the world trying to figure out the movements of Kudd as well as any other disasters which may be linked to him, or could be utilized by the college to build alliances. Though she was also mulling over various new information she was getting. One tidbit that was caught her attention was when the mage hunter group arrived. She understood the dangers of knew that the people she sent would be able to handle it, but to see nearly all of them in the infirmary... Perhaps next time she should send one of the more skilled mages to oversee them. As much as she is willing to throw their lives away, the ones she were sending were some of her best (And perhaps only) useful students she had. She didn't want to throw them away carelessly, or have them carelessly throw their lives away.

As she was reading over a report on Eania there was a knock and a familiar voice on the door. With a wave of her hand the door unsealed itself and opened for Grey. [color=crimson]"Come in Grey. I trust you succeeded in stopping the mages in Eania?"[/color]
