Cas flies over the mountains into civilized territory, where she meets a human mage named Sara.

Sara takes her to an army camp, where she works as a mercinary.

There, they arrived in the midst of a battle between two Regalia. Cas intervenes in this, briefly speaking with Prince Haowi the Trinket Ember.

Cas escapes the monster cloud.

The unit she and Sara first met are massacred by the victorious Trinket Sable. An angelic girl intervenes, preventing Sable from noticing the red jewel in Cas's possession, and saving Cas from the massacre.
