## Plot

### Battle at Treefort

„*You will watch helplessly as everything you fought for is destroyed and burnt.*”
— Xaria to Lucan
In Felden, at night, Lucan undercover as a Necromancer alongside Xaria and another Necromancer are on a mission. When they reach the Niika's Tree Fort, Xaria orders Lucan to burn it down. He tries to avoid it by saying that his flint and steel is broken, but Xaria gives him his. When Lucan does not burn the tree, Xaria removes the Necromancer mask of him and reveals him as an infiltrator. He then takes the flint and steel himself to burn the Tree Fort himself while saying that he will see how everything he fought for is destroyed and that later they will find Niika and kill her. Lucan tries to stop him but Xaria skillfully defends himself with his sword, and after defeating him he prepares to give him a "ceremonial" death. At that moment, an arrow kills the other Necromancer and Niika jumps from a high place, kills several undead and confronts Xaria. Lucan kills the rest of the undead and reveals himself to Niika during the fight, leaving Xaria to escape. Niika tries to climb the burning tree to take her information about the Necromancers, but she is dragged by Lucan to cross the river in time. Niika warns Lucan of the Felinas not being able to swim, but Lucan still pushes her into the river. He carries her on his back when they cross the river, and once on the shore, annoyed Niika tells him never to throw her back into the water. Lucan tells her that he is sorry for her Tree Fort, but Niika says that what she regrets is that all the information she collected about the Necromancers was lost. Lucan tells her that all of that information is still with her, and then informs her that he found the Necrobase under Mt. Tempus. Niika offers to accompany him to Felora give her support when he give his report to Felden Officials.

### A new companion

„*It'll be great to have some company in the road, Senn*”
— Igneous to Senn
Senn is fleeing the attack of the Voltaris in Sendaria, and reaches the small village of Hogtown. He tries to ask for help in a tavern, but the drunkard civilians don't bother to pay attention to him. Senn laments saying that everyone is gone. He then gets up and tells Timber that they will not return to Sendaria, and that now their mission is to find Ataraxia and find out why Thalleous wanted to take him there. Senn sees a crowd rushing to the edge of town, and they tell him that a Magnorite is on there, and noticing that Senn is not from there, they rudely tell him to go with him. Senn fearfully approaches the magnorite, who to his surprise greets him kindly with a "Hello there", and explains that he found some shade to read, even though he doesn't need shade. Senn tells him that he doesn't care if he's there, but explains that the people of Hogtown want him to go. The Magnorite laments, saying that it is difficult to find a place to read. Senn asks him if he knows where Ataraxia is, and the magnorite says no, but that he needs a map, which he will not find in this town, because according to him, it does not have an adequate educational department. The Magnorite offers Senn travel to Biggerton, where they could get a map, and Senn thinks it's a good idea to get out of nasty Hogtown. The magnorite is presented as Igneous and Senn is presented. Igneous is happy to have company on the trip, having always been alone, and begins to speak long and hard to Senn about what he does on his journeys.

### An encounter with the End

„*An Enderman. Don't look at it, Grim*”
— Jalkar to Grim
In Tabora Crags, Jalkar and Grim are walking to leave the place, when the Ender Dragon Egg begins to glow brightly. Jalkar then sees purple lights appear in midair a few meters away, and orders Grim to hide. Jalkar leans out and sees an Enderman, and warns Grim not to look at him. The Enderman teleports behind Grim, who terrified, look him by accident. The Enderman hits Grim and tries to take the Egg, but is attacked by Jalkar. Both fight intensely, but the Enderman effortlessly incapacitates Jalkar, but when he is about to take the Egg, he is surprised by Grim's scythe, which cuts off his arm and forces him to teleport. Jalkar complains that this job has become more complicated than it is worth, and orders Grim to leave the place.

### Sorry mate

„*Sorry mate, but i can't be slowed down any more*”
— Jalkar to Grim before leaving him
Jalkar and Grim climb a wall to get out of the cliffs, and when Grim is about to climb, an arrow hits him in the back, causing him to fall to the ground. Jalkar sees Abbigail and Sam and tells Grim that he can't be slowed down anymore, and then leaves the place without Grim. Grim gets frustrated and gets a little sad, but then gets angerful, and takes his scythe to face Abbigail. He jumps off a cliff but falls into a lake. Abbigail prepares and Grim suddenly emerges from the water with his electric scythe. The three fight hard, but Grim proves himself to be indisputably more skilled than Abbigail, and is only defeated by making a mistake and shoving his scythe into the water, electrifying himself. Abbigail points her bow and arrow at Grim, who covers his face in shame for his defeat, but Abbigail decides to let him live. The three see in the distance several Enderman watching them and teleporting themselves, including the one-armed Enderman that appeared previously, and the title *To be continued...* appears among the Ender particles.
