## Lore

### Another Point of View

The episode begins with Senn coming to Ingressus' room. He asks Senn if he frightens him and he says somewhat. The Deathsinger says, that that's good, but one must balance fear with respect. Senn asks what does he want to do with him and Ingressus says that he will release him as he is a Voltaris whether he accepts it or not, but also gives him an offer. If Senn will bring him the two Prime Songs, he will destroy the Nether and peacefully settle with his clan in Old Voltaria. Senn asks why does he want the Prime Songs then and he says that he doesn't know what is it like to live in fear. There was a time when the five Ardoni clans lived in peace. The Voltaris were the youngest and the most curious clan, when it came to the nature of Songs, but many opposed the research. They just made the great discovery of the Prime Songs and the other clans decided to unite against them, as there are only four Prime Songs, and banished them from Ardonia. Since then, the four clans each season held a tournament for a Champion to be chosen, who would then wield the Prime Songs and hunt the Voltaris. Thalleous was one such Champion. Ingressus was raised in a small camp in the Barrier Mountains, where the last slaughter of the Voltaris happened. The Master of the Voltaris at the time, Dominus, gave him Voltar and leadership of the clan, dying shortly after. He also says, that the Prime Songs have a very alluring power, which is why the clan Masters stole the Prime Songs in the first place and even admits, that he got corrupted by them as well. Senn asks why has he told him all this, and Ingressus says, because he asked and becuase he may succeed where he failed. After reminding him of his offer, he lets Senn go. He looks at Achillean's staff he kept, but Lucidius walks in, he puts it away and says, that they have matters to discuss.

### Falling into Place

At the Walls of Time, Ria is overlooking the Northwind plains and sees a person walking across, though she can't make it out to be Senn. Suddenly, she hears voices and quickly hides. The Deathsinger and some Voltaris go in and talk about how there is no mention of the atrocities that were done to the Voltaris on the Walls of Time. Ingressus says, that he thinks it's about time to start the plan, as his informant says that everything is falling into place. He also asks Lucidius and Deltheus if they are with him, as the plan is extremely dangerous, but they say they are with him. They almost catch Ria but barely miss her and leave.

### ...Or Is It?

In the Nether, Abbigail is locked in cell as she feels devastated,

thinking that she failed. Vulcannus then comes and says, that it pains him to see her there. She says she trusted him and he asks if she trusts him still which made her think twice. He suddenly chopped down the two nearby Wither skeletons in which some more forces arrive, but he takes them out. When he releases Abbigail, she immediately brought him down to the floor and demands an explanation. He says, that he needed her reaction to appear convincing and Abbigail waves it off. They go to the treasure room Kiki opened and he takes a black blade, that lights up bright orange after he takes it, and a crown, that he pockets however. Abbigail asks who is he and he reveals himself to be Vulcannus, the son of King Chronos and the rightful heir to the Nether throne. Abbigail asks him, why didn't he murder Pythus before and he says that an assassination would surely result in his own death and that he doesn't want to become the murderer Pythus is. Vulcannus returns his favor to Abbigail by answering her questions. She asks if there ever was a female Enderknight and he says never. She asks what did he meant by him telling her that he would get her a new sword and he says that a sword and a crown, were made for both the Nether and the End. These would only activate for that realm's true leader, which is why Pythus doesn't use the Netherblade. She asks, why does the crown no longer work for her and he reads from the book, that if the king's ability to rule will fall into question, he must pass the Ender Trials. If he succeeds, the king will rise stronger than before, if he fails, the king will fall. She thanks him and they go back to the Overworld. After Vulcannus walks from the portal, Luna appears very angry, but calms down after Abbigail walks through as well. Vulcannus says that he will destroy as many Nether portals as possible. Abbigail says her goodbye, but before Vulcannus can say his, Luna takes off. He smiles and chuckles, before going back to the Nether portal.

### Liberation of Felden

At Felora, Wither skeletons barge into Nitsuke's office and she is taken to the Felora hanging courtyard. Skorch almost executes her, but Niika fires an arrow which hits his hand, causing him to stagger with his sword. Lucan jumps from the crowd, grabs Nitsuke and jumps with her to the side. Suddenly, few archers start firing arrows at Skorch. He kills a few of them, but Alec jumps in and starts fighting him. The Wither almost attacks Lucan and Nitsuke but Xaria, sword and Necrostaff drawn, distracts it. It fires a shot at him, but he evades and several archers start firing at it. Alec, despite his best efforts to keep him occupied, is no match for Skorch and he kills him. Lucan is ushering people through the Necromancer tunnels as Skorch jumps in and he starts fighting him. The Wither kills many of the archers and starts pursuing Xaria. Niika gets a good opportunity to fire at it, but sees Lucan fighting Skorch and goes there instead. Eddy fights the Wither skeletons, while drinking simultaneously, and then throws the empty bottle at them. Back with Lucan and Skorch, the former is doing a lot of street-fighting moves, but is overpowered nonetheless. Skorch badly slices Lucan on his leg and almost kills him, but Niika steps in and fights Skorch as well. Xaria is hit by the Wither and falls a bit while losing the Necrostaff. Skorch hits Niika in the face and her ears start ringing. Lucan staggers up, but falls back down because of his injury. Skorch laughs and, as the two hold hands once more, prepares to kill them, but an arrow hits him in the back. He turns around, confused, and sees Nitsuke holding a bow and falls to the ground dead afterwards. The Wither starts flying down there, but Xaria jumps from a nearby bridge, mid-air cuts off the Wither's middle head and lands on another bridge, as the Wither falls down, dead. As Wither skeletons start to go after him, he runs to a Necromancer tunnel, picking up the Necrostaff while running. When he gets there, he raises the Necrostaff and lights up a torch, revealing a huge army of the Undead behind him. Cuts to later, the Nether already defeated. The surviving characters meet up and talk about Lucan's injury. Marcus decides that they should send messenger birds to the other capitals saying the Nether can be beaten. Nitsuke comes in, Lucan thanks them for saving their lives and she says that if being a perfect Chronicler means she can't help people in need, she'll risk the consequences. After they start walking off, Xaria approaches Niika and says that the Necromancers are no more while handing the Necrostaff over to Niika and walks away. They both smile, realizing the mission to destroy the Necromancers is finally over, and hobble off as well.

### "Liberations"

In the Nether, Vulcannus destroys few Nether portals. At Crown Peak, Pythus is pacing around, very angry on Vulcannus, for destroying the Nether portals, and Skorch, for loosing Felora. He realises, that the spread of the Nether is too thin to control all the kingdoms at once and thus orders the Angel of Death to liberate the capitals. In Oakendale, people are peacefully walking around. Suddenly, the Angel of Death flies over and the Wither starts reigning fire onto the city, while Wither skeletons start attacking the innocent civilians.
