As Sera released the hounds of war across Europe, Vicky's workload suddenly increased by a lot.
She had to transport tens or even hundred thousand soldiers between city-states. She kept dozens of portals open for civilians to escape the most war-ridden areas.
Vicky felt both mentally and physically exhausted before even midday arrived, but her worries made the tiredness unnoticeable. Late morning, she opened a single portal, sending her mother and most of her friends right to Harold's doorstep.
They still hadn't heard from them, which was understandable considering the importance of their battle. Vicky desired to join their fight against Harold, seeking justice, but alas, it simply proved impossible. Her current job was much too critical for the war effort.
With this in mind, Vicky stayed in New Athens with Bea. She also had strong opinions about taking revenge, but after long conversations, Sera, Bran and Otto convinced her to stay behind.
