All five were in agreement. The sphinx and temple crumble around the group, who barely make it through the portal that will bring them back outside…to 62Y3E. Diego and Athena ask questions of Alabaster and Río casts sending with distressing results. Tosh hitches a ride on an airship bound for Kornumb and captained by a familiar face. The D’artagnans are finally reunited.

The sphinx continues to bend time as Río finally learns what happened to Seraide. The visions bring clarity, but not closure. Others in the group have questions too. Athena needs answers that only the First Door can give.

Athena and Diego obtain the final key from a half-dragon and reunite with Kodi and Río. Inside the temple is not what Río expected. The D'artagnans regain possession of their tokens and pose their question for the greater good to a metallic sphynx. The group is challenged to show their strength, and the most burning question is divulged at last.

Athena’s suspicions are more or less confirmed when she enters into a pact with a werewolf. Diego learns more about the temple guardians and makes a deal of his own. Kodi procures a second key. Río’s vision expands to include an adult Merlin and her mother Seraide as they discuss Vivien’s immutable fate.

The fight with the Kuo-toa rages on with devastating results. The group is left involuntarily divided and fighting for their lives. A shocking revelation.

Río, Athena, Diego and Kodi each encounter guardians inside the temple, and must obtain their temple keys. Kodi fights a minotaur and Ríona proves herself to a griffin. Later, she hears a familiar woman's voice and has a vision of a young Merlin and King Uther. 

Seraphine and Ara share mutual distrust. Vivien opens up to Ara about what to expect on Kornumb. Kenton tries a new spell as a precaution. An unexpected attack on the ship has everyone up in arms.

The D’artagnans weigh their options before a harrowing final leg of their journey to Kornumb. Self-reflection grants entrance to the Temple of the First Doorway, where no one has any idea what to expect. Eventually the group is separated, and the real tests begin.

Kenton opens up to Seraphine. Captain Sage befriends Ara. Kenton questions Tosh and expresses concern to Ara before confronting Tosh again. Despite Tosh’s best attempts at throwing dust in his eyes, Kenton learns the truth about Soren and has a visceral reaction. After a devastating secret about Ara is revealed, Tosh attempts reconciliation with everyone.

The D’artagnans set sail for the Isle Kornumb. Kodi provides fish for the group and answers for Athena. Río learns more than she bargained for from about dragons in Mallum. Diego is inspired to build something new. Athena checks in with Río who sees another vision that leaves more questions than answers.
