## Episode Summary

On the way to the sanctuary, Gale’s new weapon begins to speak to him. Gale listens to the advice of his weapon and names him Coconut. The group settles in and Dr. Morpheus tries to explain that only those who are chosen by Vitalis are welcome into their secret order and only Luna and Ila were chosen out of their group. Eilxina starts to turn sour and is upset that Luna is hiding things, especially when she finds Luna unconscious in the woods. Ila and Luna try to explain what is happening and how they want to tell the group. Eilxina shares about the Oracle who gave her the visions and the prophecies and that their community is upset that Eilxina gave away the prophecies to save Luna. She explains about the shadow creature attacking them in Luna's dorm and Dr. Morpheus is very concerned, especially since they are intelligent enough to talk. He explains that their order protects people from the shadow creatures. Eilxina shares the full prophecy and Ila gets upset that Eilxina suspected they would betray the group. Coconut begins to speak to Gale and starts to speak for him as his rage grows. The group feeds off this energy and the group argues even more. Dr. Morpheus says that he thought they would be more mature about helping this situation and that there is an evil presence here. It takes a dark turn, and Eilxina storms off to go back to campus.

As Eilxina makes her way to leave, she sees a large 20 ft tall shadow creature snooping around outside. After being so riled up from the argument, she decides to attack it knowing she may not survive. As they creep up, the group is alerted to the creature by a ward and they rush out to find Eilxina unconscious on the ground. Dr. Morpheus shouts that they must rescue Eilxina and return inside, that they can’t fight this creature. Rikki is attacked and also falls unconscious. Dr. Morpheus manages to banish the creature and they bring their fallen party members inside where they are unable to heal them. Looking closely, they see the markings on their bodies. Liferot. A fatal amount. He says that the creature that killed them was a Nightwalker aka Life Eater. It is a powerful creature of shadow and death and no earthly magic or healing can revive them. Gale thinks back to the prophecy, “under the oak tree”, and asks Ila and Luna to help him attack the tree with their weapons and magic to get the Book of Life. Dr. Morpheus says it's a bad idea and discourages them, but they keep going and he excuses himself. Luna was grabbing at the book as Gale and Ila broke the roots and managed to get it free. But when she got the book, it did not heal the fallen friends… it released something dark. Someone. Night Mother, a dark womanly figure. She thanked Luna for all her help and they disappeared together leaving the party alone. Eilxina and Rikki go to the in between and speak with different deities that their journey is not over but merely at a resting point.
