Waking up in The Hog's Head, Nova Amaril and Silaqui meet up with Gasha Ugdug, Yanzu Jormop and the odd Doctor Weissknoch, who has apparently taken care of their wounds while they were unconscious.
Maloc is nowhere to be found, already called away by Brixom Malpa.
Yanzu informs Silaqui that Henry Jamund has left a message for her.
Nova returns to the Chapel of the Unsparing Brine, where Elrik is awaiting the answer to his test. Solving the riddle, the stone tablet splits open to reveal the Lunar Blade. Nova turns to leave, but Elrik, seemingly possessed, relays The Prophecy to her.
Meanwhile, Silaqui obtains The Arcane Philosophy of Divination and waits in the park for Henry.
She has a sparring match with Nova, when Henry Jamund and his guard Nebbick arrive.
Henry speaks more on the arcane dislocation of the Heaton Academia Arcana, and explains that Silaqui seems to have an unlikely talent for Divination.
He teaches her the Unknown spell, and is impressed with the speed at which she masters it.
Nova and Silaqui return to the Hog's Head.
