They are escorted to the capital by General Martin Stahlmann once they arrive at the port.
Mina flees into the night and Tia follows after her. When Tia is injured, Mina leaves her to die. Duff intervenes, saving her life at a dire cost.
Tia is forced to alter her appearance in order to evade suspicion as well as pretend to have her father's racial magic. Only Tia knows what really happened and only her father knows what she has become.
Several days after Tia's transformation, their escort is targeted by bandits. Tia uses her new aura for the first time, ruining their ambush and allowing Martin time to regain control of the situation.

Ifani kicks Tia out and, rather than aid her, the others in their building (Andrea and Zetian) laugh at Tia instead. This is a huge trigger for Tia's childhood of ostracization. To her surprise, Longwei spots her er on the way out and whisks her to the clinic atop his familiar Wulong without a word.
Tia makes a new and unexpected friend in an equally unexpected place, using her birth form to explore. Despite the odd circumstances, Tia makes a new secret friend with a boy she calls "Al" who shares the same rare racial magic.
