In Alfenheim, after meeting with Cyric Dane, and Horus of Chronogaze, Jill decided to have the cone of sending they had been given identified by Artemis. It was exactly what Cyric Dane had said it was, but there was some magic hidden on it. After some experimentation with Selena's help, Artemis found that the item was transmitting everything they were saying to an unknown receiver within 100 miles, most likely somewhere in Avalon. When Jill found out she said she was fine with it and continued to work with the cone near her.

Fasting forward to the 11th of February, Yao was meditating with Radz and Koritha when he had a vision of a tree being cut in half my a meteor. He went north to look for the tree with Gigs and Koritha to accompany him. They saw The Anubis flying overhead, though they didn't know what it was. They reached the tree from Yao's vision and found the bisected remains of Yao's former student, Allison.

They grabbed her body and went back down to Manderu to get her help. They called for Daisy and Blanka to come as quick as they could. Shortly after they arrived Avarice found his way to the sanctuary of Manderu after following their tracks and he was granted entrance.

He asked the Wahda Guild members to bring her back and they said they would. Radz and Yao noticed that Allison's body was emanating a dark psychic aura, and every time Avarice's name was said her eyes would flash red. Upon touching her Yao could feel and sense confusion coming from the lifeless body which lead them to believe that perhaps she was not as lifeless as they had suspected.

Radz used his spell of Greater Meditation to allow Avarice and Yao to enter her mindspace to see what they could learn. Upon entering they saw Allison in her human form fighting her warforged form, The Machine. Yao and Avarice broke the fight up and told the confused Allison that she might be dead and that they were going to help her. Yao noticed there was an invisible chain connecting both halves of her to an unknown point beneath them. Yao and Avarice followed the chains downward in the voidspace until they came to a recreation of Yao's Dojo. Allison found herself unable to enter and the moment Avarice came inside, The Machine leapt forward and attacked him.

Avarice took the hits and got the machine to admit that she was still angry with him for abandoning her when League Zero formed. Once Avarice apologized and admitted he did it because he was scared, it calmed her down and she forgave him.

They continued down to a recreation of Avarice's ring and this time no one attacked. Yao and Avarice questioned Allison who denied that there was anything wrong until she broke and attacked Yao. Yao was far less passive and fought back, stunning her multiple times. She shouted at him about how she resented the fact that he only taught her as a means to solidify his own legacy and not for the sake of his students. She told him basic facts about his students that he didn't know and should have. He apologized but she only stopped fighting once he promised to be a better mentor to Rodak and Fireball, and to be a sensei in more than just their martial arts.

With that both chains had been snapped and an angel of Nemesis came to harvest Allison's soul. Yao and Avarice fought the harbinger off temporarily before being shunted from the meditation.

As this had been happening, League Zero sent Baqir, disguised as an aaracocra to find Avarice while the castle moved over to Alfenheim for Silvius to go see the black market of Alfenheim. When Baqir arrived his disguise was immediately spotted as he was for too tall to be an aaracocra and he couldn't fly. He intimidated his way in but Radz stalled him by assuring him that Avarice was alright and stalled him all night until the Guild could arrive.

The next morning, Daisy, Tarthurac, Blanka, Warren and some other guild members arrived at Manderu. Baqir attempted to duck out but Tarthurac stopped and arrested him, recognizing him by the feel of his spiked armor. Artemis and Blažej put Allison back together and Blanka brought her back to life. Avarice agreed to give the guild everything they wanted to know and the guild brought everyone but Gigs and Koritha back to Alfenheim.

ΩJhonn arrived out Avarice's debriefing after refusing to give him his poison. Avarice told the group everything, except he omitted Gilmoira's involvement after she requested he do so in a sending. Chaplain sent a sending to Baqir and told him to stay quiet and wait for evac. Jhonn left the interrogation room for a minute to get Avarice a drink when someone else entered and silently killed Avarice. By the time the guild got into the interrogation room there was no Avarice, not even a body, just a blood stain on the table.

At the same time, Baqir's cell door swung open and he heard Specter's voice telling him to get ready to escape.
