A rough day awaits.

When you wake up, the first thing you do is check your surroundings, for anything that could help you get a better idea of the time it is now, but you found nothing. Great, you forgot that you were in a sort of pocket dimension. When you eventually remember this, it makes sense why Rei is nowhere to be seen, even though she was asleep in the bed by the side of yours when you fell asleep, not even Douma was in the bed, so you decide to go out of the dimension.

It didn't take long for you to prepare to get out of there, the only thing you took off to sleep were your boots, armor and weapons, so it was easy to put all of these back on, before you finally get out of here, by once again injecting a touch of energy into the dimension, before everything went dark once again, as you thought that you were starting to get used to darkness, seeing that you always seem to meet it at some point.

When you finally reappear, you once again are severely blinded by the morning light, as the sun is only beginning its ascent of the sky, a sky fading from orange to blue. It was beautiful, as always, and you couldn't help but feel like everything that happened until now, you waking up in this world, fighting for your life, almost dying two times now, was only a dream. But the faces of Rei and Douma welcoming you got you back to reality quickly, after all, how could they be a dream, after what you have done with them ?

"Good morning, sleepyhead." Playfully said Rei, making Douma giggle a bit.

"I wanted to say t-that..." Douma says, as you sighed with a faint smile.

"It is still very early you know, I'm sure it wouldn't be an issue if I slept a bit more." You answer, still with a faint smile, before asking, as you looked around you. "Have we got the meals yet ?"

"We have indeed, it's been a few minutes, but we waited for you." Rei answered, and what you could see confirmed it : There was a huge amount of questers, every single one of them being out here, and none in a runic dimension, all having their meal. Rei then pulled out your party's meal from her bag, made of dried meat, bread, and a strange potion, that you drank in one swift motion, since you were quite thirsty, before Rei could even give you a waterskin.

The potion didn't sate your thirst at all, but at least after drinking it, you felt like you needed to eat far less now, and Rei answered your question before you could even ask it, shaking her head with a smile :

"These are a kind of satiety potion, made to replace a big part of a meal, or a part of multiple of them. Normally, you want to drink them after eating, but I guess before works too."

You nonchalantly shrug at her in response, obviously not caring much about the order needed to have your meal, you could start with an apple and finish with some dragon tail, or whatever meat can be cooked in Eovotis really, and it wouldn't bother you. Afterwards, the three of you sat on the grass to start eating, Douma deciding to drink up her satiety potion before eating, like you did, for some reason.

After you ate your meal, Rei explained to you the plan that the Ladies Legends made, consisting of encircling the Chaos Legion's camp with mages to support the fighters, illusioners and healers that will penetrate the camp. The idea was to surprise them with a quick and fierce attack to quickly decimate their ranks, while you would suffer minimal losses.

It was a risky plan for you, but when you thought about it more, you quickly realized that it was a smart move to bring the illusioners alongside the healers in the camp, as you guessed the illusioners will probably put the healers and themselves behind an illusion, to not be caught by any foe, making room for healing whenever needed.

However, you weren't able to think a lot more about it, as Lady Kogai stood up, and simply motionned for everyone to do the same, which everyone did, before starting to walk in the direction of the Legion's camp, at least you assumed it was in this direction.
