Summary author: Zygomatic (Jessica)

Thunderwing dreams, the two moons are talking to her telling her to find a strange man with long white hair and antlers on his head. (Malum)
After waking up she spurts through the city to find this mysterious fellow. She gets his business card from a vendor Leshy and directions from a bunch of people who don't get to finish their sentences. She arrives at the Inn which is also Malum's mailbox and waits for him. Malum arrives and takes her to Caillte's workshop, which he left 30 minutes ago, so they can talk more privately.

Malum tries to sneak into the workshop using the chimney, however after last time Caillte blocked it off with iron bars. Which after hearing Malum landing and complaining, he drops. Without explaining a single thing, Malum bashes through the window instead of opening the door to let Thunderwing in. After introductions and asking Caillte and Malum to help her with the devil problem, she jumps back outside through the window to give them privacy. Malum is worried that she might be the crazy one- honey have you heard yourself talk?

After the conversation Malum announces that he shall not take up the job, instead he knights or rather... Dogs... Thunderwing using Phobia. (With how much Phobia pisses, that's going to take a long shower to remove, poor fur). Caillte warns Thunderwing that that was her chance to run away, she is stuck now.

They talk about locating the thingy.

Meanwhile Zygomatic travels through the desert and finally arrives at their clan in the evening. Marigold is telling a story which they eagerly listen in to, she notices Zygomatic watching. Afterwards, knowing they can't avoid things much longer, they reveal themselves and are quickly scolded and threatened with murder by their mother before their dad steps in to treat their wounds. They were all so worried, because Zygomatic didn't think to send a carrier pigeon or something, anything at all! They get grounded for a month.
Their dad also tells them about a rift by the Volcano that is actively spewing devils out.

Zygomatic visits Marigold again, to ask her some questions. Marigold gives them an earring which allows them to cast sending to a tribes-member, once per day.
She also reveals she needs Zygomatic to help find a plant growing in the swamps by the snake people. It's the root of a very specific mangrove tree.

Zygomatic reveals the strange veins they have been seeing and that they have the plague and are somehow not dead. Marigold explains that means that the prophecy is true, Zygomatic is the chosen one. They are seeing the same veins of death that Ysirgeis saw and tried to escape before becoming a deity. The plague is unlikely to kill Zygomatic. Curing the plague infecting them might get rid of the veins.

The next morning, Zygomatic attempts to sneak out. They dad hears them and wishes them good luck, Zygomatic whispers back that they love him.

Once Zygomatic arrives back in the city they head to Caillte's workshop hoping to catch him alone and maybe talk about what happened- however they find not only Malum there too, but also an unknown third person. Thunderwing.

Introductions are made, Thunderwing and Zygomatic obsess over stories. Plans are made to go the Umbral Haven and search the ruins for the thingy. First they'll prepare and go on a shopping spree tomorrow. The day after they will set off. Thunderwing, Zygomatic and Caillte have a sleepover.

Malum is not invited to the sleepover and visits Marilla. Marilla had a quick vision of a devil speaking to a bird. Malum explains he is going underground and is scared to miss a full moon, Marilla assures him he will be forgiven if that happens.
Malum also opens up that the party still doesn't trust him, Marilla tells him to show some of the real him, be vulnerable and they in turn will be vulnerable with him. He will also leave a note on his body that Phobia should be returned to her, since Phobia will not last 5 minutes alone.

VERY IMPORTANT: If Zygomatic dies next session- it's Malum's fault and we both have to make a new character. /j unless....
