Callum's group reaches the Sea of the Castout, and with the help of his recently developed Ocean magic, Callum and Ezran descend underwater to reach Aaravos' prison. They are intercepted by Claudia in pentapus form, who loses a leg to Rayla and is forced to retreat, and they retrieve a giant pearl that contains Aaravos' prison. With only hours left to live, Viren awakens from his catatonia and is contacted by Aaravos, who tells him that he must kill the Being, in order to be returned to life permanently. Viren refuses and quietly goes off into the forest to die. Janai and Amaya learn that Miyana has betrayed them and delivered the Sun Seed and an army of loyalists to Karim. Zubeia nearly succumbs to her infection, but is treated by a stranger calling himself "the Mushroom Mage". | ||||||
