Goodbyes are said between the majority of the party and Zechs’ parents. Arguile and Shanks are staying behind in an attempt to catch their tail and make sure his parents are safe. Galahad is asked to retrieve a piece of the root of the Heartwood in order to get his armor fully enchanted. Shanks has another conversation with Elrin that leads to Shanks signing a contract with the Archfey. If he helps “take care of” some people on Elrin’s list, Elrin will unlock the capabilities of Shanks’ bow. Upon waking up from this chat we see his eyes are now gold, thus symbolizing his connection to his patron Elrin. Voyas, Glad, Galahad, Zechs, and Salix arrange travel to the Heartwood via airship. While the group settles in, Zechs reveals what he heard on his way to the library, and the connection between these cults, the sacrifice, and a memory of his childhood. Galahad, through Divine Sense, discovers that an aspect of Malar is within Zechs and immediately they all feel uneasy at the discovery. Meanwhile, on a stakeout, Arguile gets a history lesson from Shanks on his past, particularly Rig and the S8. As this wraps they find a suspicious person that they start to follow.
