Book 5 Chapter 22 "The Burden of Protection Part 9 - Reunion"
Episode 108
Tuesday, 20 January, 2026
In Part 8, the trio trekked deeper inland towards the Portal. Despite the morningside time of day, the journey grew darker, forcing Phrixus to light the way with his alchemy. While travelling, conjecture over the owner of the unexpected footprints led the group to entertain the possibility the prints may have belonged to Garret's uncle, Melchior. Much like Garret, Melchior undertook the family mission to keep the portal secure, but something occurred which caused Melchior to go supposedly mad. This incident caused mentions of him to be removed from discussion and the Westdown family history. This discussion led to the revelation that Garret's banishment occurred because of his dogged pursuit of the truth behind his uncle's own banishment. The trio finally reaches Portal and is set to begin the ritual, when a pounding noise from the other side freezes them in their tracks. A muffled shout also from behind the sealed gates implies that it is Garret's uncle Melchior. Before they can even respond, a figure moves into the glow of the area around the Portal.
