## **Summary**

Nick tires to communicate with Katheryn but she continues shuffling forward to some unknown destination. He asks Akmenos to telepathically communicate with her but face the same result.

Finally having his past catch up with him, Nick shares that he was once the advisor to the Oberrons and had a close relationship with Katheryn who played a major role in him taking on this position. One night Katheryn was trying to thwart the infamous coup but was killed by a boomstick wielding bandit right in front of Nick. He stayed with her until the life left her body but then fled in fear that her death would be pinned on him.

Nick tells the party that she is dead and this is some reanimated corpse. Taro suggests that Nick to try bring her back like Plan B for him. Reluctantly Nick plays a tune, sadness and sorrow filling the notes.

Katheryn continues down the tunnel, a curious shard clasped in her hands with similar properties of crystals found in the Forsaken Thicket cave. Plan B follow her to an excavated cavern with two figures, one the familiar Kaizuku and the other a masked man, and the the mysterious copper machine that that seems to be intertwined with it's surroundings.

The masked man beckons Katheryn to him and she presents the shard. Soon after the room is filled with a deafening whir and a brilliant flash of light.

Plan B is transported to a dream? A Vision? They are unsure but see curious things that brings about more questions.

Akmenos is sent to a void of white occupied only by a domed observatory. He enters to find a beautiful woman, elegantly dressed with glittering jewels lining her neck. He approaches as she stares into a basin and suddenly looks up at him, her eyes completely white.

Taro is transported to an icy cavern with a path of ahead, distant noises coming from them. He runs down the path and notices a plethora of hands beneath the surface. Upon closer inspection he sees they belong familiar faces from his monastery. He reaches the distant sound and sees a creature breathing the essence of a crystal. It looks at Taro with blazing blue eyes.

Nick sees a younger Katheryn within the Burnished Bastion and follows her to her father's office. He finds her listening through the door and joins in. He hears two voices. Katheryn accidentally stumbles into the room and reveals a younger Alder Oberron, her father, and taller female figure. She is wearing a horned headdress similar to Kaizuku's but the horns are pulled back and she has one hand that is shriveled.

Yuri sees a battlefield, bodies lain about. Further ahead he sees a man, a druid, and a portal with a horn protruding from it. The portal suddenly closes and the horn snaps on the ground, an aura emitting from it. Yuri tries to communicate and seems to do so but the man ignores it, picks up the horn and walks away.

Heckler sees a man sitting at a table. He is tending to a revolver but one different than what Heckler has seen before. The man takes a moment, contemplating something, abruptly gets up and leaves.

Plan B return to their present and before they can get their bearings Kaizuku and the figure disappear, seemingly aware of their presence.
