Dr. Rowell is worried that the ice demon is already gone. She tries to reassure her, saying that she can do things on her own, but that it would be better if she relied on others to do the same. She goes on to say that she was looking for a library, but she got lost. She asks the librarian, David, if he could show her around the campus, but he is not there yet. She says that she is glad to be in the same continent as her country, regenerose, and that she has never heard of the country of platina before. For a long time, astoria suffered wars over who should rule the land. This must have been the era when the continent of Astoria was divided into warring factions. The end of this war has lasted 1000 years.
