When Iluna and Miss Green, the Ten-Ring Sorcerer of the Sun Church, Mr. Hog Lendel, known as "Sunlight Greatsword" and the Thirteen-Ring Sorcerer of the Sun Church, Old Mr. Modro, the Eleven-Ring Sorcerer of the Peace Church, and Mr. Franz Joseph, the Twelve-Ring Sorcerer of the Dawn Church, arrived at Saint Delan Square, it had been half an hour since Dr. Schneider and the four others had left.
The night was deep, and a thin mist drifted through the city, causing the gas street lamps encircling the square to emit strange halos. The starry sky and moon were especially dim, as if they too were slumbering on this long winter night.
