As the new vigils make their way to the training grounds, a pervasive awkwardness fills the cabin of the carriage as Alia's mother had just hung up her sending stone. This is not assisted as Barren pushes the subject and everyone else tries to get as far away from talking about Alia's hardships as possible. The only relief is the jovial carraige driver named Spindly. The party finally reaches the Training area, a hexagonal slanted Colosseum carved from the natural stone of the crater that the Lighthouse resides in. Kaletho and Deniz greet the new Vigils and throw them into their first training as some of the members must rescue others stuck at the top of a pillar.Unbe​knownst to them a shambling mound of vines and plant material had also been summoned to hunt them as they tried to rescue their comrades. After a fight where Barren was eaten, Ren was slammed, and a vine was insanely hard to cut; the group defeated the monster. Adaliade called upon her celestial blood to fly up to the top of the pillar to free Alia. Later that evening Opal revealed to Adilaide that she too has celestial blood as they both have somehow been chosen by the Gods.
