The train Magical Fair Princess carries the heroes Umeko, Lilac, Anisa and Gibson towards Justininople, capitol of Sylvania, the quartet enjoying their trip as they speed towards the gloomy country. Understandably nervous, Lilac frets while her friends enjoy their meals and conversation, finding what information they can from other riders. It's late in to the night when the train finally arrives in Justininople, the dimly lit streets and sinister architecture just as gloomy and oppressive as the weather. It's decided the party will find Abbot Werner and his mission rather than risk a tavern, the monk welcoming the four travelers and relating what he can about their mission. Finally, most of the group bed down, though Lilac decides to remain awake a while, contented by the holy place and that she hasn't been struck down by divine wrath.
