The people of Nightview and some of the Frontier return, some passing people of Serenity and Londo coming in, as well as seven magi-
.

Xiao, Flown, Christophore, Pittwald, Jaizara, Shiori and Charlotte

Oliphr continued where he left off, for many, for others, this was the first they heard.
Before, he spoke of resolve to deter and remove the dark emotions from the people, to clear their minds and hearts of fear, sorrow and depression.
Today, he would speak to the future, of all the things that the people could hope for in a world free of this war:
.
Times of peace, prosperity of their families and friends; times of advancement, new findings and learning new skills; times of carefree life, having simple luxuries like rest and personal growth; times of joy, discussing food, fun and fashion.
The hopes of the many, fueled by their resolve, would create the essence- the spirit of what it meant to want to protect something.
The desire for something better and the conviction to not let doubt cloud their minds. To focus on holding fast in the face of what is to bring change to what could be.
.
Such desire and aspiration of the people offered the Element Core a purpose to protect something- the future for the people.
With only the hopes and aspirations of the West to draw from, visions of greener pastures and better days of Londo, Serenity and the Frontier, the Element Core saw only the West in need; which was evident by the other nations' absence.
.
Finding reason to stay, the wisps of the ten elements would follow the people, finding themselves divided, but united in the cause to protect.
