## Summary

Seven looks at the symbols and notes that the top symbol is familiar to her. It's the same symbol as a beast that resides in her memory. She feels terror, anger and a hint of grief. Olwen Edgeworth pulls it away from her to calm her down. Adrian Tanlaial comforts her as Olwen finds Sybl Indrax. Sybl admits to drifting in and out of the conversation. Sybl sees the same symbol that Seven does and has a vision of the same beast while feeling only grief and hearing screaming.

Xaillen notes that they have to pursue the threat as Jojo puts down a stack of books on the table. Both he and Princess Abigail talk about finding the magical room. They think Arpolian looked through the room and covered up his mistake. Xaillen then suggests an experiment with Abigail and Jojo regarding the circle in the basement. Xaillen wants to make sure a portal to the shadow plane isn't in his family home.

As Flint returns, Adrian begins heading to bed with Seven and Sybl. Xaillen asks Raquel what happened to get where she was. Raquel talks about how Achillon tried to kill her but then the black mist showed up and turned Achillon into a mummifed corpse. It turned out she ran away from Kord after that and ran into someone. They were then taken to thier current room by this being with food appearing every evening. Raquel appears to be fine but mentions that she's adopted. Xaillen leaves with Raquel asking that Xaillen doesn't get hurt.

Everyone goes to bed as Olwen asks about the fiery jokers being used to help Seven's memories come to the surface. Olwen volunteers to be the test subject for said experiment as compared to everyone else, she's views herself as useless. As they talk, they spot Sybl leaving so they check on him. Caius offers to help tie her up only for snakey to tie her up. They return to find Adrian failing to calm Seven down. Hoshimi arrives and pets Seven to calm her down. Flint eventually agrees on the notion that nothing bad will happen to Olwen. Flint eventually shares a poem.

That night Adrian has another dream with Feronia. Feronia mentions that she felt resentment towards her and Adrian talks about how he nearly died. She mentions how she can feel how Adrian feels. Feronia mentions that she can help more if Adrian lets her in. Adrian agrees and Feronia is able to see through his eyes. Feronia mentions that she bonded with Adrian's soul so if they disagree on something it could end badly. She checks out Adrian's ring only for it's power to be absorbed into her. She asks him to throw the sword and he does so and it appears back in his hands. Adrian also mentions that everyone should know about the current situation.

The next morning Abigail talks with Jojo about issues that need to be attended to. The first is Arpolian and the second is the Rakshasa that used this place for trafficking. She asks Jojo to join her adventuring group, the Blue Eagles. They would attend to the Rakshasa while the party looked for Arpolian. A grumpy cat greets Jojo and leaves. Before they leave Abigail pulls Olwen aside, asking her about the mission to recover the artifact in infernal. Olwen says she's looking for it but needs to talk with headquarters to ask if she's still on the case.
