Music

The music for *High Guardian Spice* was composed by Steven Argila, who had previously worked with Audu Paden on shows like *Max Steel* and *Monster High*. Composer Scott Greer additionally contributed to the Opening and Ending songs, "Become the Light" and "Friends for a Lifetime", respectively. Selected pieces of music would occasionally incorporate a leitmotifW taken from the traditional English ballad, Scarborough FairW.

The lyrics for the Opening song were done in collaboration between the writers, while the Ending song was written by Raye Rodriguez and Audu Paden.

Recording sessions for the soundtrack happened in late 2019 and were done remotely at FAMES Project, where its own studio orchestra performed the music. Production was coordinated over at Los Angeles-based Joy Music House, with its founder Catherine Joy having acted as the Lead Orchestrator.

To sum it up; Lux met up with Wyatt, Core, and eventually Azu. had a little fight, apologized, Wyatt got stressed out and everyone accompanied him to a lavender field to calm down only to find out Lux is wildly allergic to lavender, left, started raining, went back to Wyatt's house, talked for a bit about backstories + where everyone came from, some flirting from Lux and Wyatt ensued, (at this point core had to leave so it was just Wyatt and Lux and Azu), went to go get Maia (Lux's llama, only to leave it behind because.. technical issues. anyway.) went back to Wyatt's house, invited them both upstairs, talked/flirted for a bit, Lux got triggered and so did Wyatt, angst ensued of "what did i do wrong? what do i do?" from both parties, Lux finds Wyatt and apologize, they cry, hug, kiss, end lore.
LU 27 - Shadow 1

### Zinnia

Dishes. So may damn dishes. Guess this is what happens when we stay out of the kitchen for so long, Illios said I had to wash them, but she ended up washing them anyway. Sucks to suck. Bruce happened to be out of the kitchen, so no one could walk in and see Illios talk to her "imaginary friend," boy do these nerds have something coming, wait until they see the loud and proud- and that was the start where it all came down. The stone started to glow. "Hey your disco ball is glowing" Illios looked down "What disco ball- what the-" Something familiar. It was that same feeling. It wasn't right. Seren was dead. "Illios. We should... go." Slow steps. My gait was almost like a trance, slowly but surely picking up pace. Now I feel myself pushing the ground from under me, whatever strength I had I used to find what I desperately wanted to stop. I would not relive this memory. We arrived at a tall tree, although not too tall, nor too wide. This is where the feeling originated. Illios looked around. "Were are we?" "Well by the looks of it, green, leaves, way too many trees, gee this a jungle?" She didn't respond, guess the sarcastic comment didn't help with the mood. The stone stopped glowing, so we were where we wanted to be, so now what? We walked around the tree, hoping there'd be *something*. Well, there was. A hole about the size of a person, gaped in the side of the tree, almost inviting us to give it a look. Climbing the vines, I made my way up, and there she was. Edelle. Illios climbed the tree, and saw for herself. Covered in the remaining vines that once held her, was a girl that slept for one thousand years. How was she alive? I couldn't hold myself together. When she finally stirred, I found myself pointing the trident towards her face. "W-who are you. Who the hell are you. Why do you look like her, of all people her." Illios eventually pushed me aside, so I could control my anger... or maybe it was confusion. She didn't seem to remember who we were, but she responded to her name. We brought her back to the apartments, Illios guiding Edelle, whilst I held the stone. Finally, after a long trip, we arrived. The stone started to glow again. This time, another familiar feeling arose as I dropped the stone, and felt myself returning to Illios's mind... when Illios turned around, we both shared one thought that turned the whole world upside-down.

**Him.**

### Nautilus

Dreams. One moment, Morpheus's tree stood alone in the dark realm, along with Illios and I. Then... Nothing. Nothing at all. Wherever I walked, no matter where I looked, there was darkness, but I always ended up somewhere, where a tree stood alone. Gazing upon it gave rise to a sense of longing, yet fear. It was only a tree. But, dreams are dreams, it's quite easy to get distracted in them, until a disturbance strays you away from it. After all, all dreams have to come to an end, no?

*Awaken... young one. Open your eyes once more to the world... and find me. It is finally time to end this nightmare.* And with that, my vision cracked, a bright light behind it, and everything before me shattered... brought back into reality... one thousand years later.
High Guardian Spice/Development/First Announcement & Early Reception

### Kate Leth's Involvement and Controversy

Following the release of the reveal trailer, the involvement of comic book author Kate Leth as a writer for the show has gotten widespread. People were quick to point out her past racist and transphobic behavior. On the executives' sides, this was initially overlooked as there wasn't put much time for background checks.

When it was time for a restructuring of the writer's room, Leth was subsequently laid off. Most of her contributions beyond the episodes she ended up credited for were taken out of the final product. Kate Leth would only receive some major writing credits for the episodes Transformations and Past Present.

Caraway/Relationships

### Lavender

   When he attended High Guardian Academy he was best friends with Lavender. She is present in a lot of his album photos, and he also describes her positively when talking to Rosemary. He also says he misses her. The two are implied to be childhood friends given how she knew him before he began transitioning, and he also stated that Rosemary and Sage's relationship reminded him of his and Lavender's relationship, which could mean they were possibly more than friends during their childhood. However, Lavender is married to Fennel, and Caraway in Episode 8 is seen dancing with another person and also implies some feelings for Aloe, so this indicates that they have likely moved on.

### Aloe

   In Episode 8, Caraway dresses as a playboy bunny for the Festival of Fall and hugs Aloe upon seeing her. Rosemary notes that they have the same costume and Anise says that the two have been wearing the same outfit for four years in a row. When Rosemary asks how they know each other, he replies that it's because they go to the same parties.

### Snapdragon

Prior to Episode 11, Caraway did not pay much attention to Snap in particular, but after her outburst, he tries to discern Snapdragon's motive for punching Cal. The two have a talk, where Snap recounts her abusive upbringing and how she was often taught to hide her emotions by her father. Caraway also explains transitioning to Snapdragon and tells her to not hide who she is. He also tells her that violence is not the path to becoming a respected warrior.

The Scypith

Episode 11 (transcript)

**The Scypith** is the eleventh episode of High Guardian Spice.

## Synopsis

The girls, Snapdragon and Cal are selected for a mission to help merpeople capture a sea dragon.

## Events

Rose and her friends are tasked with helping the merpeople capture the Scypith, and eat seaweed given to them by Professor Redbud that turns them into mermaids. Then the Scypith attempts to attack them. Elodie appears and uses herself as a diversion, explaining that he primarily targets normal mermaids like her. Later Elodie invites them to her sea colossuem and explains that as a baby, the Scypith was formerly a friend of theirs, but as he grew up, turned evil. She also introduces herself and her friends, Coral and C. Elodie and Rosemary also bond over her pet seahorse, but their fun is cut when the Scypith tries to attack them again. The mermaids then try to form a plan where they can trap the Scypeth and use the horn of the seahorse to turn it back into its normal form.

Cal is partnered with Snap for boat duty. Cal repeatedly hurls insults at Snap for dressing like a mermaid during the Festival of Fall. Even though Snap tries to ignore him, Cal then remarks "Your father must be thrilled to call you his daughter", which infuriates Snap and he punches Cal repeatedly, gaining the attention of Caraway, who orders him to stop. Cal then calls Snap a "freak", jumps out of the boat, and swims away. Caraway reprimands Snap, but Snap vents at him, saying that you can't change how you were born into. Caraway tells her that he knows how she feels and explains how to transition magic works to her. The two have a long talk and he encourages Snap to be what is now herself and take whatever path she wants in life.

Meanwhile, Sage panics when witnessing the excessively violent behavior of the creature and her terrasphere goes out of control and ends up accidentally killing it. She cries, but Elodie tells her she knows it's an accident. Caraway and Redbud also assure her that she is not at fault. When Thyme tries to use the seahorse horn on it and it fails, they give up on saving it. All of them oversee Rosemary's mercy killing of the Scypith. As Sage weeps, the High Guardian Spice hug her.

Parsley/Relationships

### Moss Phlox

He is very close to Parsley and was impressed by her skills in blacksmithing. Their relationship is so close that she cosplays as him for the festival of fall.

### Thyme

Parsley is one of the few people Thyme is close to, because of her unwavering kindness and unrepentant concern for her welfare. The two are roommates, and Parsley made her costume for the Festival of Fall. At the end of the event, the two talk about what they accomplished and comfort each other.

### Sage

Parsley first met Sage when Rosemary was trying to repair her locket, and agreed to meet them after school started to return it. The two meet each other with joy, where they would spend much time with each other through friendly meetings.

### Rosemary

Parsley first met Rosemary when the latter was trying to repair her locket, and agreed to meet her and Sage after school started to return it. The two meet each other with joy, where they would spend much time with each other of their own volition or otherwise through group assignments or friendly meetings.

### Sorrel

Parsley and her father, Sorrel have a classic loving daughter/father relationship. Parsley took up a lot of inspirations and work ethics from her father. Despite this, the two have conflicting outlooks over Parsley's goal of becoming a Guardian rather than staying home to help their growing family.

### Angelica

Parsley and her mother, Angelica, share a mother/daughter bond and are often together taking of care the kids. Angelica shares the same views as Sorrel regarding Parsley's departure, hoping Parsley too would return home. Angelica was however able to come to terms with Parsley's choices.

### Parley's brothers

Being the oldest of her siblings, Parsley is responsible over her 12 younger brothers and new baby sister. She takes measures to keep them from harms way, which is often as her brothers are prone to mischief. Even though she handles her brothers well, Parsley admits to have lost count of the number of siblings she has.

Her brothers, in return, began to take on the chores their sister once did before she left to High Guardian Academy and show support for Parsley's endeavors to become Guardian.
Olive/Relationships

### Rosemary

Olive and Rosemary initially perceived each other as enemies. During *The Festival of Fall*, Rose manages to seriously wound Olive, which caused her to be horrified at the guardian.

As they met each other off once more during the finale, Olive began hurling petty insults at Rose, saying that the swords in Rose's diary "looked like dongs". Olive is against killing Rose and her friends, and when Mandrake had Thyme hostage, Olive betrays him in order to protect her. At the end of the episode, Rose glares at Olive while she is getting arrested.

### Mandrake

As co-workers of the Triumvirate, Olive and Mandrake were already acquainted prior to the start of the series. Raye Rodriguez has stated that Mandrake is her senpai, meaning he has been a part of the Triumvirate for longer than her. She doesn't speak highly of Mandrake, calling him a "raging lunatic", and shows him little respect.

The two have different mentalities; while Olive has a general dislike of killing, it is almost a desire for Mandrake, to the point of wanting to kill off the entirety of High Guardian Academy. Because of those conflicting views, Mandrake constantly puts her down, often calling her "weak" and "naive". When Olive is assigned to be Mandrake's subordinate, he is quick to threaten her if she doesn't comply.

Mandrake is shown to have some trust in the catgirl since he did task her with preparing some poison. In the end, Olive uses that trust to get the best of him, in order to protect the girls.

LU 61 - Nekane 1

*"What the fuck, What is this writing"*

Nekane, sitting on a tree stump writes to himself, about the home he's found, a lovely place, how ever it appears to be abandoned, pieces of calcite are falling off, the wood is starting to mold, and upon entering the door handle was rusted, He explores the first and second floors to find little to nothing, on the third floor however, There's chalk all over the floor, spiders in almost ever corner, and writing all over the walls.

*"The writings of an insane person"*

After reading most of it and picking up a book, he walks outside to find Mira and Chizzy, Who he asks Mira to enter to read the Enderian that was written on the walls Mira and Chizzy leave and thankful sits down to start sketching the writings, while thankful is still sketching away the 2 come back to check up on what he's doing, after talking a little more the 2 go back down to have "a word" away from Nekane, Upsetting to him. After a while Nekane walks out, goes back to his stump and drinks a cup of coffee.

*"I became insane, with long intervals of horrible sanity. All that we see or seem is but a dream within a dream. There is no exquisite beauty... Without some strangeness in the proportion. The death of a beautiful woman is, unquestionably, is the most poetic topic in the world. As I sit alone in this house, I begin to wonder if it was ever so good of an idea to go into that cave, the wretched mass that I found still haunts me to this day. But I am not insane. I'VE NOT become insane, with long intervals of horrible sanity. What I had found in that cave has only left a permanent scar on my mental state. I fear that it'll drive me mad, but not insane, I'm not insane. I'm not insane, and I never really was sane except upon occasions when my heart was touched. All that we see or seem is but a dream within a dream. But by the GODS, what was it that I saw? It was blue, and the screaming, oh the screaming that echoed throughout the cave. Sometimes I still think I can hear it throughout the halls, but alas I am never to suffer, and would never have been blessed. Emerging from that cave I felt like I walked into a house on a dark stormy night. Oh the smell of the bark on the spruce trees, the foxes running around, oblivious as to what happened inside. My father once told me if you wish to forget something on the spot, make a note that this thing is to be remembered. I tried, I wrote all over the walls. Oh lord, oh lord what as this world come to? I have no faith in human perfectibility. I think human extortion would have no appreciable effect on humanity. Man is only more active, not happier, nor wiser, than he was years ago.*

High Guardian Spice/Overseas Animation Staff Guide

This guide goes over the different roles typically found within the animation production staff. (Parts of the guide may not be accurately describing the production of other shows.)

## The Groundwork

See also: High Guardian Spice/Pre-Production
In the case of *High Guardian Spice*, and many different cartoons, the entire Pre-Production (where a show's goes through the overall conceptual, writing, storyboard, and recording stages) has already been handled either in-house or by another American studio. Now it is up to the overseas subcontractors to produce the actual animation.

Before work begins, the animation studios would be provided with an episode's Animatic, a rough cut of an episode that utilizes the storyboards and recorded voice lines (additionally, music) to convey an episode's feeling, timing, and the action.
 Through exposure sheets, the animators are given more precise details like the duration of a sequence, lip assignments, and camera work.
Furthermore, the studios would receive reference material, such as the character design sheets, as well as assets like props and backgrounds.

**Magic** in *High Guardian Spice* is referred to as both a metaphysical energy found in nature, as well as its utilization. All living beings are capable of channeling and manipulating Magic for the use of supernatural abilities.

Creatures with an innate connection to Magic such as Demons have a set of magical abilities they can use without much effort, while Humans have to rely on Witchcraft.

## Witchcraft

A human utilizing Magic is commonly referred to as a **Witch**. In the modern day, spellcasting has been distinguished into two practices; Old Magic, and New Magic. In High Guardian Academy, witchcraft is being taught to students of the Magic tract.

### Old Magic

**Old Magic** refers to an older practice of spellcasting, where the practitioner would pull magical energy from nature using their own body to utilize spells. Practitioners of Old Magic are commonly seen forming magic circles with symbols that express the desired outcome.

Towns like Pebble still largely consist of Old Magic users.

### New Magic

     With the introduction of Terraspheres, witches in the modern day can use a newer form of spellcasting referred to as **New Magic**. Practitioners can utilize the gems for more immediate spellcasting and as a larger reserve of magical energy. The newer form is used much more in the curriculum of High Guardian Academy.

### Notable Witches

* Sage is the most prominent user of Old Magic. After obtaining a Terrasphere, she also utilizes New Magic. Her Terrasphere is purple, but she briefly experimented with a blue one that had golden decals.
* Caraway, though a user of New Magic primarily, he does occasionally use Old Magic to fix the pommel of Rosemary’s sword and while attempting to heal the Scypith. His Terrasphere is light blue.
* Amaryllis is the loudest advocate of New Magic, and is constantly teasing Sage for using Old Magic (although she’s irresponsible with her own magic). Her Terrasphere is dark reddish pink.
* Redbud uses so much New Magic that she has three Terraspheres. She’s proficient in large flashy spells, but they drain her spheres quickly. Her Terraspheres are red.
* Olive uses it mostly for attacking moves, but she’s also responsible for petrifying a crowd. Her Terrasphere is yellow-orange.

## Quotes

* *"You'll mostly practice New Magic in your time here, but without Old Magic there'd be no foundations. No healing medicine, no sigil enchantment, no Terraspheres. There's no New Magic without Old Magic." - Caraway (in Disorientation Day)*
* *"I grew up watching my mother use her body to pull Magic from the earth. I thought that's how it's done, you know? It drains you. It's like there's always a cost." - Sage (in Transformations)*

Chicory is a minor character from High Guardian Spice. Not much is known about him other than him being the elder brother of Rosemary and lives in Pebble with his father Fennel.
Pebble

**Pebble** is a small town in the nation of Scarborough Kingdom in *High Guardian Spice*. It first appears briefly in Episode 1 where Rosemary and Sage leave for High Guardian Academy. It can be safely assumed that the main way in and out of town is a tram up the mountain, as that is the only main source of transport seen exiting the town.

* Sage
* Sage’s Mom
* Sage’s Dad
* Lavender (Assumed, Previous)
* Fennel
* Chicory
Sage's mom

## Relatives

Sage’s dad
Sage (Daughter)
Anise (Sister)

Sage’s mom is, as her name would suggest, Sage’s mom. Her name is currently unknown. She’s an Old Magic practitioner and wants Sage to be one as well. She is Anise’s aunt.

### Design

Sage’s mom very closely resembles her daughter, with their most notable difference being hairstyle and shade (Where Sage’s hair is a bright blue braid, her mother’s is much more faded and worn down). She also wears a witch’s hat that matches her husband.

### Personality

Sage’s mother is very knowledge minded and strict. She’s a powerful Old Magic user, and forbids Sage from using New Magic- however, she herself had a phase in her youth where she used New Magic. She chooses to ignore her past and act as if she’s never wavered.

LU 206 - Space 40

I was working when Mira came in and asked if I would help her talk to Chizzy about her theory regarding Electric. I had a little time to kill, so I went along. Once at Chizzy's place, Mira asked me to talk to Syt while she went to find Chizzy; a bit odd, but whatever.

I got in Syt's tiny house and we chatted for a bit. We ended up cleaning his room, since I was bored and he had to do it eventually. After that, we went to look for Mira and luckily found her in some private cave with Chizzy. The girls seemed mad by us being in here, but we talked for a bit anyways.

Then we left, Chizzy offering to take us to this thing she found the other day; my patience was wearing thin, but I went. We went into this worn-down bunker that looked like housed some group. In one room was some stasis chambers, which was built... *exactly* how Styg built his in his base. I began to have a PTSD attack, and ran out of the bunker after failing to calm myself down and getting the group's attention. I began to talk to myself about the shard and Styg as I went back to Spawn, also trying to pin down what kind of connection Electric had to the mass. Is it like Frezz's connection to his wardens? Is it like the shardling's connection to the shard?

I wasn't sure, but I know I had to dig deeper. I also remembered that I haven't seen Vice in over a week, and finally decided to look fo rhim.

I checked Tori's trap since maybe he got kidnapped, but nothing. Then I went to his house since that's his usual hide out, but still no luck. I began to worry since Vice would've at the very least been around his house. Then something hit me- Electric brought up how Vice visited the mass "a few weeks age"; if that was so long ago, I know Vice would've told me about it.

I began to fear the worst, which only strengthened my theory that something's up with Electric. I really should swing by his place and have that chat...
LU 17 - Echo 1

### Retconned.

~~Kopple walked to The Verdure. Making sure to ignore the beacons whispers. He was ready to capture Echo. He ran up behind them and put a bag over their head "GET OFF, GET THE FUCK AWAY FROM ME" screamed Echo as Kopple dragged them all the way to Dr. T's (not Thornberry) therapy office. Once they were there Kopple explained the situation. Echo had gone insane worshiping a god and now wanted to kill him because he didn't believe in said god. Dr. T had a talk with Echo where Echo revealed that Kopple had taken one of his lives. After this Dr. T asked to speak with Kopple. He said that he killed Echo in self defense after Echo attacked him. Prec then arrived with bombs ready to kill Kopple for his crimes against The Efflorescence. Echo could not help with this as Kopple had taken all of their gear other than a hidden netherite thorn (knife) in their pocket. The group went outside and Prec set off a bomb, wounding but not killing Kopple. A chase ensued and ended up with Prec taking Kopple to The Verdure to show him the beacon. He hoped that the beacon would connect him to The Efflorescence. Meanwhile Echo convinced Dr. Thornberry to make strength potions after threatening to expose his lab. Echo then arrived at The Verdure and got re-geared. Kopple while Echo was gone had convinced Prec that Echo had gone insane worshipping a fake god. Echo then began trying to stab Kopple but Kopple got them down to 3 hearts. Echo then ran to their panic room and locked the door. Quickly writing something in their diary. They heard footsteps and hid in the walls as Kopple and Prec broke in. Prec was unsure if he had made the right decision to betray The Efflorescence.~~

~~As Prec expressed this to Kopple, Echo mined the floor out from under Prec telling them that they should come with them and help the efflorescence. Prec placed lava on Echo saying that they had gone insane and must die. Echo easily avoided this however. Kopple dropped down and talked with Prec as Echo tunneled away. Prec could not choose a side and decided that death was better that betraying his friends. He placed a bucket of water (he is a strider and that kills him) and killed himself. Both Echo and Kopple were devastated by this but that was only one life. Prec came back and held out the water bucket again. Kopple and Echo tried to convince him not to do it but he wouldn't listen. He began tunneling away. Echo followed him as Prec placed the water again and took another of his 3 lives. Prec then disappeared. Kopple and Echo fought blaming each other for the deaths of Prec, eventually tunneling to the surface. Echo drank a strength potion as Kopple tried to run away but Echo used their trident to catch up and stabbed him in the back. He screamed in pain as he lost a life. "Now you feel the suffering you put me through." said Echo. Kopple used his trident to run away.~~

## Appearances

### Debut

The Scypith

The Scypith is a purple sea dragon who was a friend of the mermaids.

As told by the mermaids, the Scypith was sweet and gentle. This changed when he has gone aggressive and started attacking the mermaids in an attempt to eat them. In his titular episode, the High Guardian Spice are sent to help the people of Serenia Honors capture him alive, hoping that they could get him back to his senses.

After an unsuccessful first attempt in the depts of the sea, it is suggested that they bring the Scypith inside of the Bastion. The team lures the Scypith into the building and traps him. Rosemary would once again try to paralyze him with Bubbles but would be swung away. When the Scypith tries to escape, Sage launches a magic blast that is meant to block the doors but her magic quickly proves to be unstable. In a quick second, Sage's blast hits and cuts the Scypith in the stomach, causing lethal injuries.

After Elodie manages to put out the spell, the Scypith desperately breaks the door of the Bastion and swims to the surface before finally losing all energy and washing up on the shore. Caraway, who was observing the mission, would quickly attempt to heal him but is unable to. With the team now gathered at the shore, Rosemary decides to put an end to the Scypith's misery herself by stabbing him in the head.

LU 107 - Frezz 2

"*This is Audio Log #1 my name is Frezz Vulpecula and this is for future purposes, you'll know what to do when you find these... If.. You find these*"

Frezz walks over to Vice who's tied up to a deep slate pillar.

**Frezz:** "*Vice... Tell me, why would you change our plans? Everything was perfect and then you ruined it*"

Vice struggles, trying to break the chains.

**Vice:** "*I.. I didn't mean to alright? This is better for us Frezz, please I can explain it all just let me go.*"

**Frezz**: "*Quiet!... You don't want to wake them up...*"

Vice looks behind Frezz and sees rows of cages with a blue glow emitting from them.

**Vice:** "*What have you done...?*"

**Frezz:** "*You people are all the same, can't see true greatness even when it is right in front of you.. This is my life's work. I Frezz Vulpecula will go down as a legend.. Everyone will remember my name.. And as for you, I'm sure they already forgot about you.*"

**Vice:** "*W-What? No they wouldn't forget me the people love me I'm their mayor.*"

**Frezz:** "*Then where are they? Why didn't they come save their beloved co-mayor? Why wouldn't Space, seemingly your best friend, come and rescue you?*"

**Vice:** "*They... Just can't find me but I bet they're trying their best right now.*"

**Frezz:** "*Space has been here before.. If he wanted to find you he would've done it already.*"

Frezz leans in and whispers in Vice's ear

**Frezz:** "*He doesn't need you...*"

LU 18 - Shrike 1

**"You're choosing a blood-thirsty kid over one of your own?"**

Shrike meets Tori in the cavern with the news he has chosen to take Kopple's side in the brewing war. Because of the kindness Kopple showed Shrike when she first arrived in this world, Shrike wishes to repay this gesture by siding with Kopple, claiming she will not kill or die for him. Tori tries to convince her to join Echo's side, hoping if the side fighting for a god of peace and love wins, he'll finally be able to live in peace in this realm. Shrike sees where Tori is coming from but says she will keep up appearances, telling Tori he true allegiance is to her friends. The two condors agree they will see each other again once the fighting has cleared, hopefully as friends once more. As Tori closes the door after speaking to Shrike, a phantom appears in his house looking for answers. Tori shares the little information he's overheard, but only after [removed] steps out of his kitchen. Shrike comes back and she and [removed] travel to Shrike's house to discuss the war some more. The condor informs [removed] that Kopple has war "machines" and other things prepared to keep his side alive in a mysterious room. The two discuss the unpredictable and hostile nature of the wither before [removed] leaves Shrikes house.
