== Plot ==
=== Part 1 ===
* After hearing screeches, Ünen and Ystävä make their way in that direction to see what happened and offer help.
* Meanwhile, the Guardian noticed the hunting party. Nevrik summons an Earth Elemental to try to distract the creature. At this moment, Ystävä arrives.
* Initiative starts (3 rounds)
** A lot of members of the hunting party are disintegrated.

** Tamsyn sees their mother as Ystävä takes down their hood.
** Ünen arrives at the end of round 2.
** The Guardian gets more and more scared.
** The fight ends with Ünen turning into a god meteor, ending the Guardian's life.
* The Guardian goes still and the area around them turns all gray. Thinking that maybe they made a mistake, Ystävä revivifies the Guardian. As light returns to the creature, Ystävä gives them the task to protect the people in Ystävä’s name.
=== Part 2 ===
* Seeing what just happened with the Guardian, Tamsyn is wary, asking what the creatures in front of him are. Nevrik reassures him that they are their friend before Tamsyn lets out a whistle and a much smaller deer-like creature appears that he uses to get back to Heart of God to heal his wounds.
* Ystävä feels a distant pressure and is worried about that. While Nevrik follows Tamsyn back to the tree, Ystävä tells Ünen to race them back to the tree as well but stays where they are when Ünen is gone, to meditate more on the pressure. They expand their mind to find the source, which she can feel is coming from the sun itself, more precisely Aldwyn who tells them to come home.
* Nevrik and Tamsyn meet a group of old-blooded individuals and their leaders Ur-Viraan and Sartor and tell them what happened but there is still a bit of hesitation towards the stranger that is Nevrik for them. As Ünen approaches the group, the Ur-Viraan realizes who that individual in front of him is a part of. While Sartor and a few more of the group decide to go to see what happened where they saw the Guardian, Ur-Viraan asks Nevrik and Ünen if they want to join them back to the tree but they decide to find Ystävä instead and say goodbye to the group.
* Being united again, they go back to the World Beacon. Ystävä can feel something in their domain shifting and they all can see Regolus itself moving as they go up, evolving. Already waiting in the World Beacon are two individuals: Aldwyn and a new individual, a horned figure, that will be part of the family from now on. 
* Aldwyn is mad at the new gods and what they have done in just that short amount of time, getting attention from the people on Regolus instead of staying hidden as he told them to, and he can’t even see the Guardian anymore, at least not all of it. Aldwyn advises the new figure to keep an emotional distance before he tells the gods to meet with one of the brothers upstairs. The new figure is still confused about the family constellations but Aldwyn tells them that they will learn more in the future before he leaves the new gods alone.
* After greeting the new individual, finding out if they remember anything from their past and getting a peak under Ystävä’s cloak, the new individual decides on the name Hylan before they travel up together to meet Væxtaar.
