the group left the mountains early the next morning to get back to Ataraxia before the Voltaris made their first move. Zulius, one of the only leaders to survive, took one last sweep of the perimeter before deeming it clear. Galadar rode with Hadion while Senn gave Arthulilia her horse back and rode Timber with Galleous. some of the horses had to carry bodies to be buried back at Ataraxia, and Senn prayed that Igneous had gotten to K'arthen and Cydonia in time before the war started. The group traded stories for a of each other to let the group know who their friends were.

Arthulilia was one of the babies rescued in the Voltaris attack alongside her sister. the twin Sendarians, as Galleous said, were much like Thalleous and Galleous in personality, Arthulilia being adventurous and a great fighter while Amberilia was a skilled weapon smith. Thalleous had given the twins a horse for their 65th birthday, the horses being twins just like the female Sendarians. Amberilia's was called Cloudjump for her leaping strength and her pelt colour. Arthulilia's was named also for her leaping strength and her pelt colour. but also for her unusual eye colour, blue as the sky.

Senn was also one of the babies rescued in a Voltaris attack and didn't know where he came from, hence being deemed a Clanless. he had grown close to Thalleous, so rather being like an Uncle to Senn, Thalleous was more like a father to him. after hiding a Prime song with a friend of Thalleous's, he'd gone back to Sendaria to find it burning. that was where he'd seen Thalleous get killed after telling him to go to Ataraxia. he was then judged by a Guardian before entering Ataraxia and it went through every memory that he had, but a few words were made out in the other whisperings.

"Like what?" Galleous asked questionably.

" i heard 'i have to get him to safety' and 'who's child is this?'. But that was it" Senn answered.

"i say you have a very dark past, Senn. normally that would mean you're in danger from something. maybe the Voltaris. but that is unclear at this point if we don't know who's child you are." Arthulilia said grimly.

the group had to avoid all towns on the way just to be sure if Voltaris were camping out nearby or had razed the towns. it was a very nerve raking time, constantly watching their backs to make sure they weren't followed. Achillean took the middle due to him being the most important team member since he was the only one who could fight Deathsinger. Galleous, Senn and Arthulilia took the front to lead the way while the remaining team members, Zulius, Galadar, Hadion, Hubris and a few Ardonians took the outer rims. some of the horses were led by the other riders in the outer rim. they passed Biggton, Hogtown and the ruins of Sendaria as they headed for Ataraxia. only problem would be the Guardian and Achillean since Achillean had never been to Ataraxia. so Galleous warned Tidesinger about the Guardians 'abducting' Achillean and a judgment from the Elder Guardian.

finally the group reached Ataraxia and as expected, a smaller Guardian popped up out of the water, looking at the group. Arthulilia began to sweat nervously because she wasn't too fond of the Guardians. only because of her first judgment in her earlier years. Senn also wasn't familiar with the Guardian due to his encounter with Igneous. due to Igneous anchoring him the first time a Guardian came, it came back with reinforcements and took Senn straight to the Elder Guardian and gave him a very painful migraine. 

The Guardian took Achillean as suspected and he came back very shaken. a few moments later, a stone bridge appeared and they crossed to the other side.
