==Recap==
===Shadow Copperhill===
Kel William Marshal and Grimes are in a temple in Shadow Copperhill. They both have shadow demons inside them that have eliminated their hunger. William's starvation however hasn't been undone yet, so he rests. Grimes looks around town for supplies. He finds 4 identical rowboats.
Grimes goes back to William. William has woken and has recovered from his hunger. Grimes confesses to Kel William that he had a shadow demon inside him since the Pyramid in Heatstroke. William says they need to keep moving, but will rest first.
Grimes gets out the Gem of Trueseeing and sees the chin tendrils on William's face. Grimes checks himself and sees that he is covered in bruises. 
===Thistle Forest===
Some hours later the pair set out from Copperhill and travel though the Thistle Forest. The forest grows thicker and trickier, but Grimes finds a trail for them to travel down. The path makes Grimes feel uneasy. Grimes pulls out the gem of true seeing and looks at the path, and sees the path as actually made by trees bent away. Grimes has lost his faith, but Kel Williams urges them forward.
As they travel, an invisible creature grabs onto William. He brutally swings his weapon at it, and the invisible creature barely lives. Grimes attacks it, making the monster appear. A long goopy thing that resembles a forked snake tongue, but a blob of wet sticks, pine needles, and other stuff that had been previously phased. Grimes finds himself being dragged towards a hole. William pulls Grimes out of the invisible pit. The trees around them close. William swaps sword to his flameblade and swings it the trees. The trees don't get burnt, but get sliced. Grimes also slices out. 
The scene appears to change, the monster appears to withdraw and around them is just a thick forest. The party continues to travel.
After some time, the party each the edge of the Grand Canal. The party decides to head along the edge of the canal to find a town that will have a path down to the water so they can cross on a boat. Grimes goes ethereal and finds that a strange after effect. The gem of true seeing he can see a tangled rope around him.
===Highcastle===
The party keeps traveling and reach the Tam River. They travel through a switchback down to a river and across Tam River. They continue west and spot Highcastle in the distance. They reach the city walls and find the city gates shut. Grimes finds a sally port door. William breaks the door open and the pair go inside Highcastle. The pair go into a tavern and rest.
Overnight, Grimes feels depressed, and sleeps on the floor and not the bed. He then hears something in the corridor outside his room. Grimes steps out and discovers a Feyr. The Feyr chases Grimes into William's room. Williams almost kills the beast in a single hit, but it survives. The creatures Grimes, who leaps out of the window due to the effects of the spell. William gets knocked unconscious and the creature proceeds to feed on his worst nightmares, until the effects of Fear run out and Grimes returns to slay the Feyr and save William. 
William is dying on the ground. Grimes tries to heal William and professes his love for him, but fails to correctly bound his wounds. William manages to pull through, presumably an effect of the Warrior Demon that had inhabited him previously. Grimes then rests.
The next day Grimes gets some water from a well (as well as some rope). Grimes then uses his ring to communicate with the shadow demons. They say they will heal William and keep watch over him.
Nine "days" later William wakes up. William is updated on the situation. William is helped into his armor. The pair then head to the Royal Castle of New Eridon. They rest in a room with a giant noble bed.
William wants to explore more, but Grimes insists they rest to heal up. The two go to a chapel in the castle nearby and make their prays to Matrigal. Grimes hears the voice of the shadow demon praying along with them.
During their weeks, Grimes shoots at the Chompers that fly overhead. Grimes and William talk of what they have lost.
After 44 days the pair leave the palace and head down the stairs down to the docks. They get into a rowboat and row to the west.
They get to Thaebin and dock. They leave the town and head west in the direction the tuning fork is pointing. The party cross off of Mistrya and travel to the Western Canal.
===The Island===
The party arrive at the Western Canal and find a new rowboat. They head north the Western Canal in the direction of the tuning fork.
They are directed to an island in the middle of the water. They pull the rowboat up on a beach, but the island has 130 feet tall cliffs. Grimes climbs up with rope. At the top of the cliff Grimes spots a dead demon. Grimes lowers a rope for William and William climbs up the cliff.
Grimes calls out and an Elf steps out of a tree, holding a bow.
