Summary : Avia, disguised as the Demi-Goddess Tornado, brings the team into the Highland Elf Territory in a fake prisoner exchange in hopes to find Zion. However, the Elf Demi-God Avalanche, suspects fowl play and tells Plague that you're at the castle. Will Zion be at the castle and how will the team escape?

## Plot

In Highland Elf Territory, Prime Minister Akira receives news that the Demi-Goddess Tornado is bringing the MC and their team to the territory in hopes of a treaty. Akira tells Demi-God Avalanche and his muse Calliope. Avalanche is suspicious, and asks Akira to notify Plague.

The MC and the team are in a wooden cage, being carried to the territory, by Avia who has shapeshifted into Tornado (Memory Game). The team pickers, and the MC reminds all of them of the plan. They're going to find Zion, then escape. Avalanche and a few guards arrive, not believing "Tornado's" good intentions. Avia plays her role accurately, impressing the MC. Avia goes off with Avalanche, and the team is dragged elsewhere into the castle. However, once the team arrives at the prison, another guard informs the rest that Elazar is being executed by Plague, Sierra and Manny are being executed in the town square, and the MC is the only one going into the prison. The MC assures the team that she'll find and rescue them, and then the team is split up. The MC is in the jail, and doesn't find Zion. Instead, they find Kasumi who states that they've been "tricked by the Master".

Elsewhere, Avia is with Akira, Calliope and Avalanche. They explain to her that Plague/Blizzard is on her way, because she wants to personally thank Tornado. Avia is upset at this news, knowing that Blizzard is a Bounty Hunter. The four of them then head to the burning ceremony where Sierra and Manny are going to be burned alive. Sierra tries to get Avia to break character in hopes that Avia will save the two of them, but she doesn't.

Elazar scares off his guard, wanting a one on one conversation with Blizzard. Blizzard, like Holly from GftS Episode Twenty-Two, try to convince Elazar to switch sides. Blizzard then has Valdis fight Elazar, which Elazar is glad to do for a rematch. After the battle, Valdis runs off and Elazar chases after them.

The MC is determined to escape, and solves a Puzzle to find the key. While the Puzzle Mini-Game isn't hard, it's a chance to get to know Kasumi. Kasumi, despite having a key, has stayed in jail for decades. The MC forces Kasumi to go with them and escape. Outside the jail, they run into a a guard, Blaze (Fan Made), where the MC can engage in Combat or Intimidate them away. Then Kasumi and the MC run into Valdis. Valdis tries to attack the MC, while Kasumi is confused why they keep calling her Valdis, as it's not her real name. Elazar returns, and the MC/Elazar have a rematch with Valdis. After the battle, Kasumi decides to intervine for her own safety and somehow summons a dragon to take Valdis away, surprising the MC and Elazar.
