With Adrian trapped and returning to his slumber, Solace found his way to the city's main power supply and rerouted it to his base.

In time, Ara was able to regain her own consciousness and she began to hear Eun's voice calling from the hairpin. Eun filled Ara in on what had happened as well as why she was trapped inside of the hairpin. The fox spirit requiring Ara to act as her medium decides to make a deal with the girl. Eun would help save Ara's brother in exchange for Ara helping Eun seek out the power of the El, a power she believed might be strong enough to break the seal that had been placed upon her, undoing the ancient seal.

When the group reached the end of the Waterway, they were faced with many light contraptions, ones which Denka believes he could use to read the Guardian Stone, but they are soon attacked by the Holy Beast Taranvash. The group fought and defeated the beast, or so they thought before it recovered and tried one final attack against [[Eve]], she was saved by [[Add]] who had been tracking them for some time.

She can't recall a name, and tries to adopt Bellonde's, he then goes on to tell her about the forest she came from, how it is dense in demonic energy and how it used to go by a different name, Nisha Labyrinth, the Labyrinth of the Night. Using the name of the forest, he gives her the name, Laby, which she gleefully adopts. She then gives her mirror the name, Nisha, calling it her friend. Bellonde is confused when he looks at the mirror as he sees no reflection and begins to wonder if it a kind of Nasod. He asks her again if she had any place she wished to go, Laby replying just outside the forest.

She then offers to take Laby to her home, as she lives a bit away from the town, up high in the mountains. Mao tells her the town and the capital's situation.

When they went to check up on Calonne they are shocked to learn that he had been kidnapped by the guards.

=== From the Ground Up ===

They manage to free the rest of the prisoners, including the Estranged Lord. Now freed, the prisoners agree to fight alongside them to fend of the demons outside. The lord informs them that Nenya's chamber is located at the top floor. Calonne gathers that Nenya is likely one of the demon who invaded the capital several years ago.

Deborah returns but Nenya has taken control of her, after they defeated her, she reveals his mind control over the other demon troops. She tells them they must kill Nenya to free them and directs them to his chamber.

Nenya manages to take [[Mao]] and threatens to kill her if Calonne doesn't make the demon portal. Calonne still refuses and Nenya strikes Mao. Laby filled with an empty feeling doesn't understand how to feel. Nenya assumes his demon form and attempts to control Calonne's body, Laby doesn't want to let it happens and attacks Nenya. He attacks her with a blast of demonic energy but Laby is completely unphased, she fights and defeats the demon. Calonne was shook that Laby was unaffected by the demonic energy. Calonne is relieved to see that his device was able to protect Mao. Calonne asks Laby if she was a demon, but he noted her energy wasn't quite like other demons, faint but powerful enough to defeat Nenya. Laby tells him of her goal to find who she is and her destination of [[Elrianode]].
