Chapter 3-12

== Minori ==
Minori and Mizu reach the docks and Mizu signals to the ships at sea. Before help arrives they are ambushed by the Jarl and his soldiers. He attempts to fend of the Jarl's soldiers with an intimidating speech that works long enough. What he didn't realize was that the Jarl never intended to attack; only to keep him where he is.
A sailboat arrives with Poleon on it with expected help. But he double-crosses Minori and Mizu, knocking out and cuffing Minori and merely cuffing Mizu. The Jarl triumphantly claims they will be his prisoners but is swiftly emasculated by Poleon telling him to shut up. 
== Takeshi ==
The scene shifts to Takeshi's point of view. Watching Poleon betray them, Thana is stunned with anger and raises to her feet. She pulls on her bow and puts all of her power into it. A beam as thick as three trees, as hot as lava, and as bright as the sun erupts from the string. It tears through a majority of the Jarl's soldiers and strikes a Warship a mile in the distance with a massive hole that causes it to capsize. She falls unconscious with no power left after exerting it all in that attack.
Poleon turns around and knows full-well that it was Thana. He taunts her and begins to approach the forest. Atalanta leaves Takeshi's body to enter Thana, revitalizing her while possessed and once again standing up. Her eyes glow green; it is not Thana who is in control. Atalanta shoots a smaller arrow beam at Poleon. The man attempts to shoot back, lifting his cannon, but the beam struck it down the barrel. It explodes and scorches half of Poleon's body as he falls to the ground supposedly dead.
Somnium appears next to the Jarl in a small display of black shadow magic. He taunts Atalanta from a distance but she doesn't know who he is. They've fought before, Somnium notes, and he is happy for the opportunity to capture her. Her use of her power is what revealed her location.
The shadowy man possesses Jarl Vagan to use as a host body corrupted with shadow magic and tendrils. Atalanta quickly shifts her power into Mizu - after being freed by Minori breaking their cuffs - who is twice as powerful as Thana. Unlike with Thana, she relinquishes full control to Mizu. He fights Somnium and with the help of Minori and Takeshi, they pin the creature and nearly defeat it. Before they do, it siphons Atalanta from Mizu and disperses.
They bring the unconscious Thana and Poleon aboard the last vessel of Shio, the one Poleon was the General of. With Shio no longer being a nation the other boats have begun to sail to their home islands. With their last boat they sail to Kaentos to meet with the Empress; the last place Mizu has as a refuge.

== Trivia ==
* Atalanta fears she had done harm to Thana after possessing her unconscious body. She has only ever done so to awake and consenting targets.
* It is made clear Somnium was able to track and sense Atalanta's use of power. It is unclear, however, if he can do this with all Sprites.
