## Plot

### An Unexpected Return

The Episode opens with the Knights of Ardonia on a hill overlooking the Vault. Grek tells Hubris to turn his lights off, who annoyedly replies that he can't. He asks Masani if she sees anything, and she says no, so they are grateful they made it before the Voltaris. Onyx questions what the Deathsinger would want from the Vault, and Senn explains he's after the Prime Songs, and Thalleous most likely hid one in the Vault. Masani then realizes someone is coming, so they all arm themselves, but then relax when they realize it is the Captain of the Knights of Ardonia. Senn is confused, thinking Hubris was the leader, who explains he was just standing in. Senn asks who it is then, and a familiar voice calls out saying, "I am. Who's asking?" Ria Sendaris appears, and Senn is very surprised.

### Igneous meets Maxwell

Back at Tartarus, Igneous is in the housing district looking for Maxwell. He knocks on a door and Maxwell steps out, asking what he wants. Igneous said he heard Maxwell is trying to reunite K'arthen with the other kingdoms, who then thinks Igneous is here to harass him and tries to make him go away, to no avail. He invites him inside and gives him a lava bucket to drink. Igneous ask whys it's dangerous to speak freely, and Maxwell explains that Magnorites are like sheep, in the way they tend to do what every other Magnorite is doing. He continues by telling that K'arthen and Cydonia used to engage in mutual trade. K'arthen gave them ores and Cydonia gave them food. However, suddenly Cydonia raised their prices for no reason, and K'arthen was forced to mine deeper for more ores. However, Malakai rose to power and then destroyed Cydonia's land by salting their fields. Maxwell then asks why Igneous is really here. The answer is that he wasn't raised in K'arthen and never developed aggressiveness, but everyone looks at him like some dangerous radical, and he wants to change that. Maxwell smiles, and then tells him of a tunnel Malakai is mining underneath K'arthen and to go there to find answers. Igneous leaves and another Magnorite is watching close by, suspiciously.

### The Future Enderknights

Abbigail travels with Denny, following the Eye of the End and recruiting more Enderknights. Luna is growing bigger by the day. She finds Saxon, an illegal potion brewer, and Trevor, an enchanter. On the way, she spots some Unyielding Legion bandits, but decides not to pursue.

### The Chronicler

In Felora, Kiyoshi is marching towards Ferndale where the next Necromancer attack will be. He passes by Nitsuke, a Felina who is also a Chronicler. She is carrying books in both hands and is looking for Kiyoshi. She asks a nearby soldier who gestures to a building. She enters a kitchen and asks a chef if he is Captain Kiyoshi. The chef is annoyed, and tells her to try the barracks. She goes back outside and looks for the barracks, but is overwhelmed by the size of the camp. However, Kiyoshi spots her and walks up to her. They greet each other, Nitsuke dropping her books. Kiyoshi asks if she always has this many books, and she replies that it's her first mission so she brought everything. Kiyoshi is unamused and annoyed that Northwind sent an amateur, meaning they aren't taking the situation seriously. Kiyoshi asks her if she met Lucan yet, but she says that she hasn't. It cuts to Lucan wearing his Necromancer robes at a temporary base of theirs, guarded by zombies. However, he uses the Wither skeleton skull and subdues the zombies the way he saw Xaria do it in Episode 7. He then enters the gateway.

### The Vault

Senn and Ria are shocked at seeing each other again. Ria explains she looked everywhere for him and thought he died along with Thalleous. However she's says it isn't important right now and they have to focus on the mission. Masani then cuts in and says the Voltaris are here. Ria orders Masani and Senn to stay there while the other four and her went to attack them. The Voltaris are killing guards and prepare to fight the Knights of Ardonia but are struck by arrows from Masani. Grek bounds forward and starts fighting them. They fight for a bit and then Hubris realizes this group was a distraction. The top of the Vault explodes and the Deathsinger stands there with the Supporium Prime Song. He and Tygren walk along the bridge but are stopped by Ria. The Deathsinger and Tygren threaten her but she refuses to stand down. Tygren fires his energy ball Song but it is stopped by Senn who uses his bubble shield to protect Ria. Senn recognizes Tygren and they both run at each other to fight. Tygren easily throws Senn down but then Ria steps in and pushes Tygren back. Ingressus, becoming impatient, fights Ria and throws her down down as well. Ria grabs Senn and jumps over a railing just as Tygren's Aggressium Song flies by, and the screen cuts to black, ending the episode.
