The Nildorin split their efforts as the road ahead demands more than one path. Nemiea, Harding, and Dante return to retrieve the Gleeman, seeking his guidance as the growing weight of the Lost Tomes continues to shape their fate.

Their journey leads them through an ancient tree to a distant island, where beauty gives way to dread as they descend into the depths below. What they uncover is not merely danger, but a hidden horror long buried beneath the surface.
