It’s one of those back-and-forth flash back episodes, so strap in...

It would appear that the ìksha’s foul magic is stronger than Bargessa thought. Gaielle felt it. But Gaielle’s spent her life living in her skin, knowing who and what she is; she owns the obstacles and the benefits.  Bargessa, on the other hand, runs from it, passing as one of the Amarazae.  Passing as human.  

But it would appear that Bargessa's, shall we say, unique heritage is also a bit more robust than she’s ever realized. 

And so, the dramatic question of the day: which force is stronger?  The one that would leave her floating in memories from half a century ago? Or the voice within that allows her to take part in the battle to come?

The party’s found the BBEG.  Will it be 4 v 1, or is Bargessa out of the fight?
