A large trade ship had arrived at the port; aboard it was Zantetsken from Japan. The sailors went through with their procedures and the ship came to a stop at the dock. As Zantetsken disembarked, he asked one of the sailors where he could have his ryo converted to gold. The sailor gave him some general directions, and Zantetsken tipped him before heading out.
The scenery was very unfamiliar to Zantetsken, and the people were dressed very differently. He noticed some knights walk by, and he placed his hand on his scabbard and held it firmly so that he could draw his katana quickly with his other hand. The knights were only half-equipped, and they were shouting about something; Zantetsken was too far away to hear it accurately. At this site, he lowered his guard and thought to himself, "Are these the knights I've heard so much about? Those guys wouldn't last 5 minutes on the battlefield... Maybe it was a mistake to come here..."
He was then suddenly aware of the fact that he was very different from those knights, and that he would certainly stand out. He tried to ignore that as he headed towards the marketplace to find the currency exchanger. Zantetsken noticed another knight just sitting on a bench, gazing at the sky. Remembering the knights from before, he didn't give this knight a second though. He proceded to the exchanger and had his ryo converted to gold coins. He had a feeling that he was shortchanged, but he wasn't too concerned about that. From the moment Zantetsken stepped outside of the exchanger's building, he couldn't shake the feeling that he was being followed.

Stella rode along the streets on Agro, her pure black horse, looking around at the happy children playing and the adults working. She had a soft smile on her face as she watched the children nearest to her play with a puppy and pretend to be strong warriors defeating a dragon and saving the day. "I'm glad everyone is happy... Now, the only problem is, is something I could do today.", she thought as she looked up at the bright sky. "Lady Stella!", shouted a middle aged woman from cross the street waving at her. Agro was soon told to gallop over to the woman and stay still when there. "Hello, Mrs. Tillia.", said Stella still on top of Agro's back with a smile. "How have you been, deary? I haven't seen you around here much anymore.", said the woman happy to see her. "I am doing fine, I have been a little busy at the Holy Church for a while, and had some time to spare. So I came here to visit everyone again... So how are you Mrs. Tillia?", said Stella. "I've been doing great! Our stocks of crops have increased more than ever! And now we have enough for food to last us for about a year!", said Mrs. Tillia happily.
"That is wonderful to hear! How is Lily doing?", asked Stella. "She's doing a little better now... But her disease is still here.", said Mrs. Tillia with a saddened look on her face. "I see... I will pray for her in the Church soon. I should go ahead and start heading there now... Goodbye Mrs. Tillia!", said Stella riding off into the main streets of the city. "Goodbye Stella! Be safe, you hear!", said Mrs. Tillia smiling and continuing to sweep. Stella rode along the main streets heading towards the church, passing by Leviathan who was sitting along the bench near her...
