When the dry, cold air filled her nostrils, Figxin knew she was back in the Northern Domain.
The moment she heard the Church was partnering with the Zog Group, she decided to return to her fief immediately, skipping the remaining weeks of the exposition.
She had to get the Northern Domain to partner with the Zog Group as soon as possible. The earliest partners would carry the most weight.
'If I wait for them to grow any bigger, who knows how much value they'll see in the Northern Domain.'
To save time, she had teleported for many segments of the journey.
She hadn't teleported the entire way, though. She still traveled by land or sea through areas with poor magical infrastructure. Teleporting the whole way would have been too expensive.
The trip back to the Northern Domain took eleven days in total, a full week shorter than her original voyage by sea.
"ACHOO!"
Figxin sneezed.
'I'm back. It all feels so familiar again.'
