Pans through the empty remains of Ataraxia. It is hazy and much of the trees and grass are all destroyed, and dirt replaces where grass once grew.

The Tidesinger, Senn, and Ria stand still in the courtyard looking over the wreckage. The music is very somber.

Back to the original Knights of Ardonia hideout just north of Ataraxia. Abbigail sets down and walks into the base. They are all circled around the planning table, no one speaking.

Hubris : So what now? We lost our chance at retaking the capitals, we lost Ataraxia…. and we lost Galleous.

They all bow their heads in respect.

Abbigail : Two of my Enderknights were taken captive in Felden, and the Cydonian and K’arthen forces retreated to Tartarus. We’re in no position for further attacks.

They continue to sit for a moment. Grek scratches the back of his head and grunts quietly.

Grek : *small grunt as you scratch your head*

We do the only thing we can do: find the remaining Prime Songs before the Deathsinger, and use them against him. Wielding both the Aggressium and Protisium Primes would grant us a fighting chance.

Tidesinger : In finding the Prime Songs, I agree. However, I take concern in wielding them against Ingressus. If we attack with the Primes and fail, then he gains them all, and we lose everything. 

Ria : It’s a risk we’ll have to take. Tidesinger, you are the most experienced in the use of Songs. If the time comes, will you wield the Prime Songs and fight the Deathsinger?

The Tidesinger looks troubled.

Tidesinger : It was never my intention to hold such power, but under the circumstances, I will do what I must to stop Ingressus.

Val : How will we find the Prime Songs? Thalleous refused to share that information with anyone… *pause as you recall the death of Galleous* …including Galleous.

Grim : *affirmative grunt*

Senn : That engineer… Fredric… wasn’t he working on a redstone device to locate the Prime Songs?

Hubris : It needed a Prime Song to calibrate, remember?

Suddenly Fredric is heard, and he steps into the circle.

Fedric : Actually… if I may intercede, there was a positive to come out of this tragedy. When the Deathsinger attacked I was able to calibrate my device off his Prime Songs without him knowing.

Ria : At last some good news! Can you locate them now?

Fedric smiles.

Fedric : Of course! In fact, I already have. I present to you what I have aptly titled: the Fredric Device.

Fredric holds up a redstone device. Some people frown at his choice of titling.

Fedric : I need a map- someone get me a map.

Hubris lays a map out on the table.

Fedric : Two of the Prime Songs are residing in Crown Peak- those must be the two in the Deathsinger’s possession. A third one is off the coast of Hydraphel, amongst the uncharted islands… right here. And the fourth is as far north as north goes- Gale Point.

Fredric points to the locations as he talks about them.

Grek : Can’t you get the locations a bit more accurate than that?

Fedric : Do you know how difficult it was to get these readings? This has never been done in the history of-

Ria : It’s fine Fredric, it will be enough to get us started. Thank you for everything.
