## Synopsis

Lara is sitting across from Jallet, “The Bear”. He is there to keep watch on her until his commanding officer returns. However, it is Hylophagous who walks in. He excuses the Bear, claiming that he was personally requested by General Highstar himself. He leaves and the Saint sits down, telling Lara that everything is going “perfectly”. Phylyco seeks out Lara, who is currently bathing the Baby. Phylyco does not even acknowledge his thoughts on her becoming a mother and asks her to speak once she is free. Very not Phylyco of him. She finds him and they head underground to speak. He outright tells her they need to kill the Saint. She is obviously surprised. She gives him reasons why it’s not a good idea but he counters at every turn. She agrees to help him if only because she has someone to care for now and doesn’t want this to get out of hand. She offers him a courier mission to maybe distract him from his vendetta. He declines, stating that he is above those missions and he goes on his own task to retrieve something. Aragi is on the trail of the missing guard. He determines she was in a scuffle and spots a woman with something over her head being dragged by two House Rose men into the Castle. He gets on a nearby building and waits.

Aragi stays for a bit and realizes he missed his chance so he goes to the Bloodjaw to discover any information. What he finds out from Elzu, the new owner, is that one group of recruits are constantly in there and tend to be loose lipped. He thanks her and leaves. He seeks out Lara and gets a brief one-on-one with Gris before Lara returns. It’s sweet. He asks if she’s seen Phylyco and she confirms but doesn’t give him anymore information. This annoys him so he goes to find the Magnificent. He gets distracted by Sirobe who is following him again. He finally cracks and demands the cat talk to him. Sirobe basically tells him that he can’t just stay at the circus and not participate, be it performance or mission. Aragi decides to go out into the woods to think. Phylyco arrives in Maeurt. He paces through the destroyed city and out beyond it where he finds a nearby Mithril Mine. He mines a small amount before he hears a massive skittering down the path. He calls it and leaves the mine, blocking the entrance with a cave-in.

Phylyco returns to Aethel to discover someone was in his tent. He seeks out Aragi and discovers the man is building a hut outside of the city. He remembers that and heads back in town. There he spots a new archer, who is apparently the replacement for Aragi in the performances. Their name is Tabhu and their skin is completely made up of a red Crystal-like substance. Lara arrives and brings them to the Saint to properly introduce them and Phylyco attempts to pry information from the new face. He gets some clues involving the Gates of other planes. Aragi attempts to once again summon the pixie but he can’t get the tactics down. He gets annoyed but realizes he has a solution and decides to head out that night. Phylyco, in the meantime, heads south and runs into Zinonna and her new workers. He requests she build him new blades with the Mithril and she complies because well… it’s Phylyco. Aragi gets to a point where he finds an inconspicuous bush and whispers something in elvan. He walks through and it is revealed to be a hidden city of wood elves.

Zinonna finishes the blades as they return to Aethel, overnight. Phylyco pays her for her efforts and sends the group to the barracks. He goes to the Mausoleum. Sirobe is there and they discuss the cat giving the Saint false information on behalf of him. He also asks if he knew where Aragi was and the Tebaxi simply replies, “home”. Aragi walks through the town to the Elder tree in the middle. He begins to climb to the top and enters the Elder chamber. Only Head Elder Canelas is present. Aragi asks where the others are and the elf informs him that they are on lunch. He tells the young ranger to have a seat and wait for the others. He complies. About an hour passes as the other elders arrive. The last person to walk in is a woman named Lyssaria. She hears him say hello and she turns to him and they embrace. Mother and Son reunited.
