As Star and Scale returned to their room to rest for the night, Elowyn once again found herself sharing her connection with Gift, seeing through his eyes as he approached the Enochian Tower and confronted Gideon.
As the two went to the jungle, presumably to fight for the fate of the Divinaxiom, Gideon quickly realized it was not a fight he could win, and so instead infused Gift with all the divine power trapped within the Divinaxiom, making Gift, or Talus, a god of Vault, while simultaneously pulling Gideon's own life force from his body, ending his life.
Back at Ology, the group awoke the next morning to a panic in the halls. They found that an accident has occurred in which a residency room had injured its occupant, severing them in half.
While Garrick was able to help save the life of the individual, Grand Headmaster Jaspin Smithy attempted to calm people's fear that something was wrong with the power of Ology.
While Eden went back to working in the aeronautics workshop, Zeb worked on feeding secrets to the conch shell of Tsh'Ah, and Garrick conversed with Seed.
Garrick realized Seed was hiding something, as he was afraid to destroy anything within Ology, and seemed to not want to talk about it.
Additionally, Seed claimed he had been in constant pain since arriving in Ology, like somethign was attacking him.
Elowyn took time to commune with the Benefactor, but was only able to feel a single emotion from it: a need for help.
Meanwhile, Markus trailed Jaspin to the Grand Headmaster's office and overheard Jaspin attempting to speak to the Benefactor, without any success.
In Jaspin's frustration, he threw a chair through a window, revealing a black void behind it.
Additionally, Markus overheard Jaspin speaking about "honoring their agreement" and building a "grand workshop" in exchange for being named headmaster.
Marksu approached the void an looked into, but some power from within it reached out to him, however the influence of Markus's family's connection to Lloviatar stopped the force from affecting Markus at all, though it caused that painful influence within him to flair.
The group met back up later in the day and exchanged information about what they thought was going on within Ology.
The decisions was made to return to the Grand Headmaster's Office, and approach the Void.
When Elowyn attempted to reach out from within Garrick's magic circle of protection, the presence within the Void lashed out, and through seeing into the ethereal plane, Markus made out the visage of a wild and crazed woman, trying to attack and get at Seed.
Elowyn moved away from the protection and attempted to commune with the entity, eventually being able to calm it.
As Elowyn assumed, this was the Benefactor and she learned Seed was actively killing her, though it didn't know how.
Eden grabbed Seed and jumped from the tower, attempting to get Seed far from where he could do harm, but it seemed to have no effect.
The group went to Seed's room, intent on seeing what he'd been hiding within.
When they opened the door, they saw a room that was actively being both created and destroyed, tearing holes through the veil of planes, and allowing demonic entities to enter the room to watch the show of magical energies colliding.
