Star and Scale dispatched the demons who had gathered to watch the tearing of reality between the accidental power of Seed and the desparate power of the Benefactor
With the battle finished, they found themselves in the middle of that disasterous tension, however, with no way out of the room
A song began to emanate from outside the room, and the group found Tambor and Melil singing in harmony, empowering the energies of creation, the power wielded by the Benefactor, to overcome Seed's destruction. With that balance restored, the group was able to escape the room.
Jaspin arrived, calming tensions among the denizens of Ology and ensuring everyone that all was well. He asked the group in private what was happening, but Star and Scale had little to tell him besides Ology needed to be emptied due to the impending arrival of the Divinaxiom
Seed and Eden returned to the tower and rejoined the group.
After the incident, Elowyn decided to get what work done in the Observatory she could while the rest of the group decided to try to evacuate Ology, knowing that Gift would be coming for the Benefactor soon, having heard his message through the Dream Tether.
Markus once again tracked Jaspin into his private office, and found him use a cadaverous body to contact two individuals, who soon arrived through a recess in the very walls: Chalice and Ravana from Demon's Hollow.
Chalice claimed she and her companion had killed gods before, and could handle Gift when he arrived, and demanded only the Divinaxiom in return, when they destroyed him.
When the two left the office to go set their trap, Markus confronted Jaspin, and Jaspin told him he'd made a pact with the Benefactor to become headmaster and create a workshop to find a way to protect the people of Ology from the very threat that was now on their doorstep. They'd run out of time.
Markus took the body that was being used as a communication device to Chalice and Ravana in an effort to stop its living death in suffering.
That evening, as evacuation plans were underway, Gift arrived, waking Eden in her sleep, and letting her know he would not end Ology by killing Calypso, the Benefactor, now. But he would be destroying Tambor and Melil.
