The echoes of battle dissipate, and in its aftermath, we engage in a conversation with Zephyros. From the enigmatic figure, we acquire Pixie Dust and discover intriguing artifacts among the fallen Ari Snatchers—a token of Umberlee and a peculiar duck coin. Pearl's keen identification skills unveil the magical essence of the bag found, confirming its nature as a Bag of Holding. Meanwhile, Yrdlyn imparts a glimpse into the Astral Plane, describing it as a shapeless sea of nothingness.

With a practical disposition, we dispose of the lifeless bodies by yeeting them off the side of the flying castle, creating an ethereal scene against the backdrop of the sky. Gathered around a crackling fire, we weave tales of our individual journeys during the time between our adventures, forging connections and memories.

As the night unfolds, a strategic plan takes shape. We decide to infiltrate the tower, employing the stealthy expertise of Caulkin, rendered invisible for the task. The following day, the Prince of Frost pays an unexpected visit to Pearl, adding an intriguing layer to our unfolding narrative. The subsequent day passes uneventfully, but the tranquility is disrupted when Ari hears an eerie voice in her head uttering a cryptic "Interesting." The haunting familiarity of the voice triggers an unsettling feeling, hinting at a connection from her past.

In the realm of dreams, Yrdlyn experiences an unusual encounter. A "dragon snake," emissary of Demir, extends an invitation for her to visit, alluding to the presence of "others like her." The dream leaves Yrdlyn with a mysterious call to action—finding them when the time is right. As the threads of our stories intertwine, a sense of anticipation lingers, setting the stage for the next chapter of our unfolding adventures.
