The group updates Parn about the situation regarding Neese and in turn he updates the group about the war. King Kashue has killed Duke Raster and Alania has fallen. King Etoh is leading a holy war to rid Valis of the Marmo and King Kashue has now mobilized his army towards Kanon. Spark leads an ambush by the free army on the Kanon supply lines but they are heavily defended. Having successfully carried out the ambush the free army hosts a banquet later that night. After Neese heals a small wound on Spark the others tease them about their growing feelings for each other. At the banquet Ryna and Leaf get Spark and Neese to spend even more time together. As they are sharing a tender moment alone, Wagnard himself appears and kidnaps Neese and now possesses all the components required to resurrect Kardis.
