Magnolia was a large city, growing as its population did, the merchant city never seeming to end if you looked in any direction. It's ordered chaos was something Sasha loved- even if it meant having to keep a close eye on the very curious toddler of hers. In recent times, the city had seemed to gain back something it had lost, the unease around magic seeming to fade away into the background in the face of tolerance. In the face of science and technological development, the city had prospered, as humans found a way to adapt without magic. But Magnolia had always been known for its Magic, and the loss of that…. Well, Sasha was happy to see the development of the city and the way it seemed to be healing. Just like them all. 

Grabbing Faith’s arm before the girl could dash off, Sasha gently guided her towards the festival grounds. As they walked, the buildings of Magnolia slowly seeming to transform from more medieval to modern ones, Sasha couldn't help the feeling of peace slowly washing over her. The Central path had never had its named changed, and Kardia Cathedral seemed to dominate the area. [color=00aeef]“Remember last time you ran off, Faith? You nearly had an icy bath in the river. You will hold my hand, and stay close.”[/color] She said to her daughter- a part of her still couldn’t fathom that. Daughter. Her child. Shaking her head, she continued towards the Cathedral.

Faith giggled, tugging at her hand, and Sasha nudged their way gently through the crowd, letting the crowds cheer and wonder at what was going to happen wash over her, and fill her with happiness. The general festivities, merchants taking advantage of the crowds, many foods stalls and the magic vanders were astounding to Sasha, and she took it all in with pride. 

As they neared the cathedral, Sasha slipped in through the crowd, scooping  Faith into her arms to ensure she wasn’t hurt by the jostling crowd. Shifting, she  moved over towards where the rest of the guild was sitting, settling Faith just as the battle seemed to be getting underway.
