[Those who look up will find Stella at the very top of the highest tree in Luceti, where she ties a flag onto it that looks suspiciously like one of Senel's Alliance Marine outfits.

[goldenfirefly]

By that time I'd be at the top of the mountain! [Except not since Senel's way stronger and thus can probably climb faster]
