Time passes as those involved with Spiratu's prophecy make their way to the ritual ground. While Protus, Furose and Kalm take time to get acquainted, Protus can't help but fear for the future of the Heirs. Why is so little as Spiratu predicted?

All are on the road to the ritual ...but not all will reach the end.
