## Plot

### Heist on Etherea

„*We're just gonna have to do what I do best, improvise.*”
— Jalkar to Grim
Mercenaries Jalkar and Grim arrive in Etherea to steal an Egg from Ender Dragon. Jalkar asks Grim for the castle schematics to find out where to attack, but he notes that the schematics Grim brought are the wrong ones, so he says they will have to improvise on their plan. As they walk through the halls of Etherea Castle, they both see various enchanted weapons for sale, and Grim sees an enchanted scythe. Excited, Grim buys it and shows it to Jalkar, who is upset, because "you don't buy from the people you are stealing from." Eventually they reach the tower, kill the guards, and take the egg, only to discover that it was wired, causing it to trigger an alarm that draws several more guards. After both beat many of them, they finally leave Etherea. Jalkar stands in front of a cliff celebrating the heist, but Grim accidentally shoves him running and the egg falls down the cliff, teleporting on impact. Jalkar is furious with Grim and then they head towards Underwood, where he aimed the egg energy trail.

### A place to return to

„*Thalleous, Sendaria is your home. You are always welcome here.*”
— Osivian Sendaris
In Sendaria, Senn and Ria train in combat as they talk about how they will one day leave for adventure. Senn gives Ria a spear that he made himself. Ria says that she loves the weapon and they are about to try it, when they are interrupted by Thalleous, who tells them that their strength comes from not their weapons, but rather how they choose to wield the power that has been given to them. Thalleous praises Senn's spear and gives them Songs, but tells them that their father, Osivian, should not find out. Just then, Osivian surprises them with their arrival to welcome Thalleous, but Senn and Ria are scolded by their father, as he asked them to get away from each other. He says to Ria that being one of the few female Ardoni he has too many responsibilities, and he asks Senn to respect his wishes, since he raised him as part of the clan although it is not by blood. He sends them both to their rooms while going to speak to Thalleous in private.

### Assignment

„*If you wanted to kill me, we could have just gone with an execution!*”
— Lucan to Marcus
At Riverstead Prison in the Felden Kingdom, Lucan is notified by Marcus of his expedited release. Lucan is happy until he is told that he will have to do mining duty on the Basalt coast. Lucan tells Marcus that he doesn't feel safe doing that job underground, because of the dangers lurking there, and asks if there is no other, safer duty he can do, but Marcus insists it's not a request, it's an assignment, and Besides that he should not worry, since every miners are guarded by a guard. Lucan angrily leaves to his work, but not before stealing some of Marcus' cake.

### Night at Sendaria

„*I'm really going to travel with you?*”
— Senn to Thalleous
At night, Ria leaves her room to observe her Song in the shrine of Sendaria. Senn arrives at the place and both are surprised to find the other. Ria tells Senn that they are both unlikely to go on adventures like Thalleous does, and tries to return the spear to Senn, but he asks him to keep it, as it was made for her. Ria hugs Senn and then he walks her to her room. Thalleous talks to Osivian about his previous encounter with the Voltaris, and tells him that he reported it to the Masters, but they refuse to take action. Osivian tells Thalleous that no one will believe him without proof. Thalleous tells him that he knows it and that if he can't convince him, he can only prepare himself. Just then they are interrupted by a noise and Thalleous says that someone is listening, and then he teleports, discovering that Senn was hearing them. Osivian is very upset that Senn disobeyed him and intends to punish him, but Thalleous offers to take him on his journey, to which Osivian accepts, hoping to see an improvement in Senn's attitude. Senn is excited about the trip, but feels bad for Ria, because she would have wanted to go too. Thalleous tells him that maybe another time and tells him to sleep, because a long journey awaits them the next day.
