"half-complaining" about going to Kerachi. Xeno summons forth zombies to kill the party. Zohar reveals that Xeno was an apprentice of his, but his lust for power turned him evil. It turns out that Zohar lived over 300 years ago, and that he had been trapped by Xeno in the "land between time." He is known as Zohar Abu Sa'id, a famous arcanist who was known for his experiments in magic. Xeno wanted to rekindle the Flames back then, which explains why Dolf and Hel are pursuing the Magic Stone and Royal Ring do badly. After beating the zombies in the forest, the group comes into Kerachi. Ash reveals that they are supposed to meet up with Carlo Lisbon, a well-known businessman. Diego blurts out that they cannot trust Carlo. Ash reveals that Carlo is one of the biggest supporters of the Resistance. Diego suggests that Carlo is double-dealing with the Empire, just in case either side triumphs. They head over to Carlo's mansion, where Carlo reveals that his agent is finalizing the sale of the Ring now. Before Diego can slip out of the room, Carlo stops him. It turns out Diego is Carlo's son. Diego left his father 7 years before, and changed his last name from Lisbon to Renault. Carlo believes his sone is back to succeed him in the family business. Ash finds Diego out on a deck, and asks what happened. Diego felt that Carlo loved money more than him or his mother. Eleni finds Ash, saying that Carlo heard back from his agent about the Ring. Meeting with Carlo, he confirms that the Ring being sold is indeed the true Royal Ring. After the Revolution 18 years before, the Ring ended up with a coin collector. Carlo sets the meeting at a warehouse in the old part of Kerachi. He tells Ash to finalize the deal and make the exchange that night. Upon arriving at the exchange, the party finds out it is a trap. Breaking free from the trap, Ash and his companions find out that Xeno was behind the attempt yet again, and that Carlo set them up. Carlo tells Diego to give up his warring ways and come back home. Xeno creates a flame wall around the party intending to burn them alive. Carlo implores Xeno, telling him that his son was to live. Xeno mocks Carlo, and Carlo attacks Xeno.
