"The Gods Are Gone Part 2"

"The trials answer is revealed! Also there's another trial!?" - The Gods Are Gone Part 2
== Plot Synopsis ==
Zeke ask the group the question need to continue the trial “In what way can a man slay a god?” Markus suggests that he should answer first. Kier attempts to stop him, but Markus ignores him and gives the answer “To throw the god into the sun” anyway. Kier rushes up and tells Zeke not to listen and pulls Markus back over to the others. Meanwhile, Gregor goes up to Zeke and answers that he would use his glaive. After giving their second answer the group debates over what they each think it could be the correct answer. Ashe thinks that there is no one way to kill a god since not all gods are the same. While Kier agrees with Ashe he thinks that the right answer would be the most by using a special punching since it is extremely Onorhant . While they all agree on this the hatted man goes up to Zeke and says that his answer is whatever the group just said.
After yelling at the hatted man over stealing their answer and threatening to go after him during the next phase of the trial, a man with a large crossbow calls out Zeke on his bullshit trial. He introduced himself as Kyrlos , leader of the Valor Clan , and that if they wanted they could join his clan to fight monster instead of solving riddles.
When Kier hears Kyrlos’ name he asks him if Kier is a syllable in Onorhant. Kyrlos confirms that it is and that it means screaming manchild, purveyor of the truth, and also cries like a baby frequently. He also explains how it is spelt Kyr instead of Kier. Kier accepts this and changes the spelling of his name while also dropping his last name.
Kyrlos then ask Zeke if his question even has a real answer. Zeke says that it does, that being that there is no one way. By answering the question correctly the group is able to move on to the next part of the joint trial. This catches Zalvetta ’s interest, which distresses Ashe.
Kyrlos than begins to explain how the Valor Clan side of the trial will work, since it is the better part. All he wants is for them to collect Ban mask, the champion will be whoever brings in the most mask. He also permits the stealing of mask from other contestant or brings in any mask they might already have. Ashe also ask what is needed to remove the mask from the Ban. The clan leaders explain that the mask is bound to them and can only be removed after a certain amount of time after the Ban is killed.
Zeke than explains how the Lily Clan part of the trial will work. They are to go to a catacomb under Lily Clan jurisdiction to slay a dangerous spiritfolk god who has been killing local human citizens. The first part of the trail is to arrive at the entrance by dawn the next day or they will immediately fail. For the next part of the trial, Zeke begins handing out glass vials to the patients, the one given to Kyr shatters immediately upon touching the vial. The reason why it shattered is that these vials are connected to the serenity of the holder. These vials are to be used to bring back the blood of the spiritfolk god even if they can't kill it.
With Zeke done with the instructions for the trial, the group plans to head out. Before they do Moren wishes them luck on the trial since he doesn't need to participate in this trial. They then head down from the Lily Clan gardens where Markus passes Ashe her Vial, which also shatters immediately when she touches it. Leaving them with only Gregor and Markus’ vials left.
Once they get back down they see Zalvetta jump down in front of them with two masks on him. Markus seeing his chance sets a tree on fire and uses his smoke form to get behind Zalvetta. He gets the first mask with no problems, but then gets scolded by Zalvetta when he goes for the second mask. Zalvetta than challenges the group to a race, to see who can get to the spiritfolk first and if they win he will give them all of his Ban masks. The group begins to run towards the catacombs but Markus notices that the mask he had grabbed was missing, and sees Zalvetta twirling one on his finger.
The group spirits toward their destination for an hour straight except for Markus who was carried most of the way. They take a break to catch their breath before continuing forward. While resting Ashe explains how she believes the meaning of the term god and how it is likely only a title but it still has the power to demand such a title.
