## Plot

### Senn Connects with his Song

 *“Exactly. A Prime Song contains all the Songs within that order. Wield all four Primes, and you will have every Song in existence.”*

Val explaining Senn about Songs

The episode begins with Senn going to the Ataraxia shrine to meet his new instructor. He sees a female Ardoni about his age flying high in sky with wings, who then comes down to the ground, introducing herself as Val Mendoris. They talk to each other, Senn surprised his teacher is a young girl, and Val asks if he knows how the shrine works. He explains that there's a pillar for all four categories of a Songs, and then puts his Protisium Song in the Protisium pillar. Val explains that an Ardoni can only wield one Song of each type, so four Songs in total. She then instructs him to stand in the shrine and listen. Suddenly, the Song starts creating noises, and a beam of light connects Senn with his Song. His arms raise towards it, and he is engulfed in light. His ears start ringing, and then he faints.

He reawakens back in Galleous's home where he is told that everyone passes out the first time, and to wait until he summons his Song for the first time. Senn then inquires on whether the Deathsinger was the best at wielding Songs. However, the masters should've found someone who should wield the Songs, not could wield the Songs. All of a sudden, a large figure flies in front of the doorway, and in enters Luna the dragon with Abbigail.

### Abbigail Arrives

*” Nobody is born an Enderknight. Every so often a human is… chosen.“*

Galleous explaining Abbigail about Ender Knights

They introduce each other, and tells Senn to go work in the forge, as they have to discuss things. Abbigail recognizes Senn and smiles. It cuts to the lower level, where Galleous explains how he tracked Abbigail, and how she is not hunting down the Unyielding Legion out of nobility, but out of vengeance. He asks if she knows anything about Enderknights, and explains that Enderknights are not born, but chosen, and there has never been a female Enderknights before. Continuing, he tells her that she must track down more chosen Enderknights by using the Eye of the End she recovered, and one of them will become the Enderking, or, for the first time, the Enderqueen. He offers her a new sword, and tells her that only one blacksmith in Ardonia can create obsidian armor, so she must go to the End and reclaim said armor. If the Nether follows, she must fight them.

### Niika Returns

Back at Fort Zuka, Lucan, Kiyoshi and the other Felden troops breach the front gates, and spread across the city, looking for tunnel breaches, Lucan looking for Niika. She drops down from a ledge, and Lucan realizes something is wrong. They fight, and Lucan falls to the ground, unwilling to hurt her. She almost kills him but Kiyoshi interferes. They fight, and Niika retreats. They return to Fort Zuka where a few tents are set up, and Kiyoshi is debriefing the battle. He explains that Fort Zuka has been lost, but since the Necromancers are heading to Ferndale through the tunnels they have time to prepare. He also states that Northwind is sending a Chronicler to write about the situation, in case this war goes on the Walls of Time. He assigns Lucan to watch over her, insulting him by saying that she is a Felina so he should be happy. Lucan is angry, and starts to fight Kiyoshi, who overpowers him easily. He then leaves to the other kingdoms to get reinforcements.

### Training with Val

Senn is training with Val, attempting to activate his Song. He almost does it, forming some sort of energy shield for a split second. He asks Val if she has any other Song besides her wings, and explains that she has an Aggressium Song, but Galleous doesn't want them to use those as he hates them. However, Galleous isn't there so she does fire hers and it curves around lazily, hitting the side of the Galleous's blacksmith. They run off their own island, landing on one below them. They get up and sit together, talking. Senn wonders why Galleous doesn't use Songs, and Val explains that during the Great War his students and brothers were killed, and he blames the Prime Songs for the war. Senn says that he has done nothing to avenge his family, but Val reassures him that learning his Song is helping them, and perhaps it's time to join the real battle.

### Entering K'arthen

Igneous and Aren reach the borders of K'arthen, were Aren tells Igneous to head west for an opening in the walls, and then leaves. He enters K'arthen soon, and only bare stone can be seen. A Magnorite guard walks out of Mt. Kaelos, and almost catches Igneous, who narrowly escapes. He walks around, eventually getting to a ravine, where he reaches a large doorway in the cliff. Entering it, the Great Hall of Tartarus is revealed, the capital of K'arthen, and the episode ends.
