Gisela had woken up after a long time. She decided that in her current situation non-intervention was the best course of action. She decided to let fintan try and take down the gnomes. If he succeeds, later whenever gisela takes back control it would be easier for her, and if fintan lost , Taking back control would be easier. Either way fintan's stunt is going to be very helpful. So she decided to use her time to work towards fulfilling her son's legacy. For that she needed to access an ancient archive in atlantis. She knew that it was somehow accesed by the statue of unity at the center of the city. So,she performed a remedy on her skin. However in the haste, she irreversibly damaged he face skin. That particular ointment just made the skin cells stretch and cover the wound. Now she started feeling as if somebody was pulling her skin. But she had no time to waste. so she took off in an eupteryied carriage. She reached the center and quickly obscured herself with one of the neverseen's advanced obscurers. She reached towards the statue and climbed it . She quickly realized that towards the top of the human head, there was a spot with less density. She tapped it multiple times. On about the seventh time a small plaque popped out . It read

What comes ones in a million
What is the sixth of the unseen five
What is the gate of cosmic power
And within a dozen of days ,hides under the
darkness' cover

Gisela was well prepared for this riddle. Due to the places connection to the hidden force, the riddle was related to it. The plaque showed itself to the elves who knew the hidden force and its real purpose. The ancient councillors being the fools they were assumed nobody knew the hidden force except for themselves and hence made the security system. Anyways, Gisela gave the plaque a hard press. Another small plaque popped out. Hurriedly Gisela correctly arranged letters from the riddle to spell out
n i g h t f a l l

As soon as Gisela arranged the letters, both the plaques merged and popped open to reveal the bottled light of candesia. So Gisela took the bottle and light leaped away.
Soon enough she was transported to a big crystal dome. Gisela noticed the dome was underwater. Suddenly she seemed to hear some found echoed of the dome's interior. So, she went to check it out . She was done for. She saw a family of five gorgonops. They had spotted Gisela, and were coming for her. And as cherry on the cake, the exit collapsed into a pile of rubble. Gisela knew that there was no way she could survive the attack of the gorgonops. She started seeing her life in flashes in front of her. She regretted the fact that her son still considered her as the villain and she wouldn't live long enough to tell him the truth. She regretted that she wouldn't be able to change the blissful ignorance of the elves. Right at that moment, there was a flash of shining green. Gisela waited for the final killing blow with closed eyes. However, attack never came. So Gisela slowly opened her eyes to see all the gorgonops dead. Then she looked up to see a family of tredgeons with a iridescent green carapace. Right at the front of them was a familiar tredgeon ,rocking his green carapace. It was none other than Salvator. Gisela was so glad to see him that she ran to hug him. However, right then the remedy took its toll and Gisela promptly fell down unconscious.
