Summary
The sky gleams white. In an instant, a portion of the sand sea was obliterated. A storm of sand was swept skywards, then it proceeded to descend from the clear, blue sky like rain. Reinhard yells out to everyone, telling them not to breathe in the miasma-infested sand. Two people—Flam and Grassis—raise anti-sand cloths up to their mouths, while Meili clenches her mouth shut. The Crimson Scorpion emerged from Meili's hair and began snapping its pincers in alarm, but both it and nearly everyone there could do nothing. However, the voice of someone with the ability to act suddenly calls out for the Sword Saint. He descended from the dragon carriage, stood at the forefront of the white light, raised his sheathed sword, and gazed across the expanse of the sand sea until he swung his sword and met another burst of light with it, severing the attack.

The severed blow created another vast crater in the Augria Sand Dunes. Despite being a simple attack for their opponent, it held the power to vaporize the dragon carriage that Meili was presently in. With a repressed scream, Meili verbally recalls the similar welcome she received on her previous trip to the part of the sand sea beyond Sand Time. The rough greeting from Shaula, the tower's self-proclaimed Star Keeper, was something she only survived thanks to the actions of Emilia, Julius, Subaru, and Beatrice. A repeat of situation was unanticipated following the loss of Shaula. However, the light's source was a blue-scaled Dragon that lay settled atop the tower as a substitute for its unavailable caretaker. It was the Divine Dragon, Volcanica.

Two days prior to the confrontation with Volcanica, Meili was still at the Royal Capital. Annerose notifies the former assassin that she cannot use the power of persuasion with her words. Persuasion could only be achieved with action. Meili could not refute what Annerose was lecturing her on, and she expressed her feelings of thanks for Emilia and Subaru. Nodding, Annerose affirms her statement and adds that she has nothing more to say to Meili. A girl walks up to the duo from behind them and if Meili is prepared to leave. It was Felt, another Royal Selection candidate and a rival of Emilia's. She is accompanied by Reinhard, a small boy, and two twin attendants. The boy is introduced as Ezzo Cadner, Felt's strategist. The twins are Flam and Grassis, who typically handle tasks like cleaning and cooking. Ezzo attempts to correct Felt's explanation by claiming Rom was her strategist. But according to Felt, Rom did not like that title, so she considered him her advisor, Ezzo her strategist, Flam and Grassis her caretakers, and Reinhard the violent one. Flam and Grassis comment on her harshness towards Reinhard, whereas the knight himself laments the word she used to describe him.

The exchange left Meili feeling dizzy, and Annerose thanks Felt for the introductions. Meili surveyed the people who would be accompanying her to the Pleiades Watchtower. She and Annerose had an audience with the Council of Wise Men at Lugunica Castle, where she requested amnesty for her past crimes and used her power to manipulate Demon Beasts as a bargaining chip. The Council agreed on the condition that she prove her ability's usefulness by traversing the Augria Sand Dunes, and Felt's group volunteered to join her after provoking the men. As Annerose was Roswaal's representative, she was unable to accompany the group to the tower and she had to trust Meili with them. Although was indebted to Felt, the candidate did not mind getting into the details of debts for this type of situation, and she was also thinking about what she could do about the situation at Priestella. With a bow, Annerose communicates her understanding and thanks Felt for her offer.
