## Lore

### Alliance Reborn

The episode begins in the Nether, where the Deathsinger is trying to convince the Nether king Pythus, who has killed his father and the last Nether king before him, Chronos, stating that his father recognized the strength in their alliance. As he says this, the Angel of Death lands in front of the Deathsinger, protecting Pythus as the Nether king says, that his father was a fool. We also see a Netheran called Vulcannus overseeing the conversation. The Deathsinger describes the situation in the Overworld as the kingdoms not being united anymore, the Enderknights not having been seen in years and a group called the Necromancers having diverted the attention and says, that this is the perfect time to strike. The scene ends with Pythus turning towards Ingressus and thinking.

### We Have To Stop Them Now

Cuts to Igneous being escorted by the Magnorite guards. Borgen intercepts them with a pile of pickaxes onto one of the guards to divert the attention. Meanwhile, one of the other three guards turns his weapon towards another guard, revealing he is with Borgen, and kills him. An archer up top fires an enchanted arrow into the last guard, also killing him. And Borgen attacks the Magnorite he dropped the pickaxes on, killing him as well. He informs Igneous that the tunnel has reached Cydonia and that they need to stop them now. Borgen and Igneous go into the tunnel while the other two Magnorites stay outside and watch the entrance.

### So It Is True

Switches to the Knights of Ardonia who have just arrived in Ataraxia. Galleous greets them and says that he didn't believe the rumors at first. Achillean recognizes the markings of Galleous as the brother of Thalleous and that he is sorry to hear of his brother's death. After the Tidesinger explains what really happened all those years ago, Galleous gives him his old Songs. He says, that he doesn't wield the Songs anymore, because he thinks that Songs are responsible for many tragedies in the Ardoni history, to which Achillean replies that he shares the same opinion, but that the Songs are not evil themselves. After the Knights leave, Galleous goes back into his blacksmith and thinks about the Tidesinger's words. He decides to wield his Song once again and uses it on a block of obsidian as he tosses in the forge.

### Not a Mistake

Back in the End, the Enderknights come across a stronghold. They go inside and find and armory full of Enderknight armor that lights up as they put it on. There however isn't any female armor, which makes Abbigail a bit sad. But Denny assures her that she is not a mistake.

### Trick

Cuts to Fernda. Lucan comes out of bushes and informs Alec, that the Necromancers have set up a trick and aren't attacking Ferndale, but are instead going straight for Felora, the capital city of Felden, who in turn informs Kiyoshi. He thinks hard about whether or not it could be true, but eventually decides to pack things up and ride to Felora immediately.

### Sacrifice

Back to Igneous and Borgen. The latter pulls out a redstone torch and intends to detonate the TNT prematurely. But Igneous volunteers himself to be the one to do it. After he approaches Malakai, who is overseeing the final steps, he first wants to talk him out of it, but Malakai doesn't listen and starts fighting him. Igneous manages to put a redstone torch to a redstone path that leads to the TNT, before Malakai starts to seriously beat him up. The redstone hits a redstone repeater slowing it down. As this happens, the other Magnorites start running out of the room. Malakai eventually punches Igneous so hard, that his arm breaks off and Malakai manages to stop the redstone by breaking it as well. Igneous, however gets one last idea, which is to pull out a redstone torch once again and detonate the TNT immediately, which he does, killing himself and Malakai, as well as blowing up a hole just right outside of Phaethon.

### Betrayal

Back to the End, the Enderknights come into the throne room, where the Ender crown is sitting on a pedestal. And even though Allister is no king, he still puts the crown on his head, despite Abbigail saying to give the crown to her. Unknown to Allister, and possibly the other Enderknights as well, however, the crown doesn't light up on his head. For the Ender crown will only light up upon the head of the one it has chosen to lead the Enderknights. An argument starts between Allister and Abbigail, which ends with Allister stabbing Abbigail in the chest and kicking her into one of the holes in the room. The episode ends with Abbigail falling into the endless void of the End.
