Around ten days has passed since the events at the Masters of the Night-Wind, and with five tribes now visited, it left just one more tribe, the Collective of Plenty.

After receiving an invitation from Iansan to come visit for real, Lucius now sits alone on the outskirts of the Great Volcano of Tollan, looking at the marvelous yet dangerous natural disaster.

Lucius: ("To think, that there would be so much... stuff hidden in that volcano itself. But during that battle, Freddy grew up but then reverted back... I never really asked him much about what happened, it was so bizarre. Either way, what matters is that Freddy is now safe and normal.")

???: Wait... you're Lucius!

A feminine voice speaks out from behind him, snapping him out of his thoughts as he turns to see...

Lucius: Yeah, that's me. Guessing Iansan sent you?

???: Yeah! Coach Iansan said she invited you to our tribe, so I came out here to wait for you while I did some training. And now, you're actually here... Hehe, I can't believe it! This is great!

Lucius: I'm not that big of a deal.

???: You're the hero who defeated the Abyss! You're a huge deal to everyone in Natlan! I've heard the story of "Tumaini!" so many times, I can practically recite it by heart!

Lucius: Ah, haha...

Varessa: I've been so excited to meet you ever since Coach Iansan told me you might be coming. Oh, my name's Varesa, by the way. Not sure if Coach mentioned me before...

Lucius: Varessa... I think I've heard of you before. Iansan mentioned that the Collective of Plenty was hit hard during the Abyss invasion but you got it under control. So really, you're also a hero.

Varessa: Not really. It was all Uncle Acatl! All I did was clear out a few monsters. Just thinking about the invasion gives me chills even now...

She says, shivering in her boots.

Varessa: But, that's in the past, the Collective of Plenty fared pretty well, all things considered. We finished our repairs, so now it's just a matter of helping out the other tribes. Hehe, c'mon! I'll take you to our camp!

Lucius: Alright.

Following Varessa, Lucius and her would arrive at the outskirts of her tribe.

Varesa: Ah, home sweet home! We made it! Welcome to the Collective of Plenty!
