3rd POV

Last time on Vox Machina, Vax scouted Umbrasyl lair but he was ambushed by the dragon. But thankfully his friends arrive just in time to safe him from the dragon. They did their best to fight Umbrasyl, but it was not enough even with their vestiges. They manage to escape from the dragon and they end up in another cave. Right now, Vax woke up from consciousness and remember what happened.

Vax: Chenga!

He then groans in pain from his injuries, but his sister checks up on him.

YN: A little late for a warning, don't you think?

Vex: Its okay. You're safe now.

Just then they hear a dragon roaring from distance as the cave shakes.

Vex: Sort of.

Scanlan: Okay, we got Vax, now let's slip out the back door.

Scanlan leaves but he was stop by Vax.

Vax: We're not running.

Scanlan: (Scoffs.) How many times do I have to say this? We can't win.

Keyleth helps Percy by holding his arm over her shoulder.

Percy: He makes an excellent point.

Keyleth: Okay, what if we leave and come back with help?

Vax: No damit, we'd never return in time.

YN: Even if we can, Umbrasyl will be ready for us.

Scanlan: Let's just get out of here before he finds us!

Vax: Don't you people see? If the Matron shown me anything, its that fate is real. Keyleth's people, Grog's herd, YN's portal accident, our father. You think that was all chance? We're supposed to be here. (To Scanlan.) You arre supposed to be here.

Scanlan: Screw your Matron! She doesn't control my destiny.

Vax: No, Scanlan, you do. And you can run from it, or you can rise to meet it.

YN: Forget this, this is our only chance to kill the dragon.

Scanlan: Are you insane!?

YN: At least I'll go down with a fight! (Summons his spear.) I don't care whether its fate or not, we do what's necessary, not because we let it bind us until its written for us.

Vax nods before they both leave as YN drank his elixir. Scanlan hesitated and struggles to decide whether he should leave or help until he remembers what his daughter said.

Kaylie: What do you care? For all the wrong you've done in your life, you'd have to do a helluva lot right.

Scanlan made up his mind before speaking.

Scanlan: Vax, I-

Suddenly Umbrasyl breaks in another cave as he roars.
