be fate that they are now paying for their sins, lying about the Flames. Orosius issues a warning about the sword though: just like the Magic Stone, it can curse the one who wields it. Orosius has faith in Ash, and says if anyone could, Ash can. After burying Orosius, Dolan, Amon and Sara are ruminating about how many have died so far in the struggle. Dolan comments that they can beat Dolf and Hel, and their hopes lie in Leena. Eleni visits Leena at her home. Leena is distraught over the loss of her village and grandfather. Eleni tells her to cheer up, as she is not alone. Leena is now part of their family, and Eleni gives Leena her pendant. The party heads out to Orome Lake. Once there, Leena casts a spell, making the temple arise from the waters. They guide Leena across the walkways, past the Guardian Constructs, and she gets them inside the temple. Vandal Heart waits inside of a magical seal. Just as Leena goes up to unseal the sword, Xeno shows up. Zohar tries once again to reach his old apprentice, but to no avail. It turns out Xeno learned phase magic, and can summon time-space gates at will. He casts the portal at Leena, and Eleni tries to intervene. The party seems at a loss as Xeno flees. Eleni suddenly remembers that she is, in fact, Leena from the village. The loss of her grandfather and subsequent trip through time repressed the memories until they started this journey north. Leena comes out 18 years in the past, wearing the pendant that she gave to her younger self. Magnus Dunbar finds her, and the rest is history. Eleni then unseals Vandal Heart, as she can now remember the incantations. Ash walks up to the sword, takes it, and feels energized. Chapter 6 begins with Ash, now in possession of Vandal Heart, heading back to Shumeria to help with the Liberation Army's final assault. Dolf, now in possession of the Flames of Judgment (and rid of Hel), prepares to make his move on the throne. The party gears up in the town of Glasgow before heading out to Fort Gareth (one of the last of the Empire's strongholds). At the Fort, Kane is lamenting the loss of his father and friends slain in this campaign. Ash shows up, and wants to talk peace. Kane
