After their encounter with The Hourglass Pirates, Temple and the rest of The Aces were hired on by the Princess of Divelinson, Diana Voxville. They were instructed to escort her and her team to Kawit. Once they reached Myzopodis they waited for their arrival.
Soon her team came and she went to speak with Captain Heartless. During this time, Ryver had brought her team aboard the ship where they were Temple, Deino Jormun, and Natsuru were able to introduce themselves. Temple went on to show them his centipede collection and inquired about any dietary restrictions. After questioning them he confirmed that he wasn't actually the one in charge of making the food but the one who makes the maps. He got right back to his map making after Ryver had a little hissy fit about Gidget eating fish. Temple told Ryver to pipe down and to not make a big deal out of it.
The following day, the ship set sail and started making their journey. However, on this journey they were attacked by a group of sirens and whales. At one point Temple had turned into a whale and scooped Ryver and the Princess from within the water after Ryver had dragged her down. Everyone in the end was ok as the fight came to a conclusion. However, Ryver's behavior still was strange and matters got worse. He and a few others had taken over the ship separating Temple from the rest of the crew. Temple, along with a few others were brought to the Badlands.
