The first group arrived in Lyra on the fourth day after that meeting.
They entered through the East gate when the sun had just risen. There were seven people in total, dressed in ragged but clean clothes, with neatly combed hair. Each person wore a small bundle and held a travel pass ready in their hand. The guard at the East gate was Elric's man, having been replaced three days ago. He glanced at the paper bearing the branch's seal, then waved his hand to let them pass, without even bothering to ask another question.
Six more people entered through the South gate by noon. Five people entered through the West gate in the afternoon. Nine people arrived the next day, divided into two groups, one at the North gate and one at the East gate.
