In the central hall of the Sanctuary Tower, in front of the Moon God Divine Statue.
Sitting in a wheelchair, the Priest Elder Eng faced the Divine Statue with eyes gently closed, murmuring prayers.
The great hall was profoundly silent, so quiet you could hear a pin drop, until the respectful voice of a stationed warrior came from outside the door:
"Elder, the Gale Hunter Halfdan requests an audience."
Elder Eng opened his eyes and said,
"Let him in."
The warrior saluted and withdrew. Soon after, the dusty and travel-worn Halfdan entered the great hall, giving a respectful bow to Elder Eng:
"Priest Elder, I have returned."
Elder Eng maneuvered his wheelchair and nodded slightly:
"It is good that you have returned, my child, may the protection of the Moonlight be with you."
