Chapter 3-8

== Soren ==
(part 5)
The trio is on edge the morning following Soren's death. Kaylen is not fulfilled knowing eight Eritomoru remain and Alcia still desires Zade to be killed. The siblings begin a heartfelt conversation regarding their father and Kaylen shares that he does not wish to execute him. In the end, he is still their father, and it would be right to see him captured and brought before Empress Mayus for punishment. Alcia sorrowfully agrees.
As the sun reaches noon they leave their Inn for a final mission; this time, Zade will not get away. They travel to and enter the Kikono temple where they believe Zade is residing as his last refuge. The hallways are empty and lit dimly by torches. After several minutes they reach the massive back room. Sun beams shine through the glass windows and ceiling and a large altar is surrounded by space for worshipping monks. Yet, no life is spotted. The tall domed ceiling brings the sunlight to shine directly on the altar where from a swirl of Dark energy Zade emerges. He apologizes to his children that things have come to this. They are his family just like Elenai, he is just trying to reunite them by getting her back. Proceeding he mentions the Kikono's plans of resurrecting the Alpha Sprite. He wants them to join him so they can be a family. Family is what is important.
In a moment of weakness, Kaylen reaches out to his father and tells him to stop what he is doing. There are other ways. Zade refuses because he has tried for so long and this is his final shot. The heartfelt moment is cut short by Somnium extending from the shadows and killing Zade with a large spear through his back. "None of you will make it out of here." His attempt to assassinate the rest of them is thwarted by a quick escape and Vexxis sacrificing his life to hold him off.
As they flee the walls crumble and large chunks of the ceiling collapse. Hallways also began to tighten up as the place fell apart. The group now only the two of them gather themselves in a rocky outcrop outside the temple to hide. Exhausted they fall with heaving chests. Kaylen curses in anger after witnessing his father and best friend die. Alcia screams about how he could be sade Zade died. Zade was a terrible man but he was still their father doing things out of twisted love. There was remorse for his killing of Soren... there is nothing they can do now.

== Trivia ==
* Somnium's killing of Zade shows he had watched his murder of Soren. There is a lot to speculate about Somnium's limits.
* Upon exiting the temple that appeared destroyed from the inside, it was entirely intact from the outside as if nothing had happened.
