 Tillia's light is pulled deeper and deeper into the threads and mirrors of this realm as we feel our bodies return to a conscious state. We can communicate in eachothers minds. "Do not lose sight of what is important child and upon your victory, we shall find and free your mother together." says Theos.
 
 Neil convinces Phipps to explain the Aroncar eyes. "The eyes are a symbol of the Espada, there aren't many of them but full blooded Espada they can pretty much do that whenever they want and permanently maintain the warrior state. Ascended Aroncar such as ourselves we have just a fraction of their blood in our bloodline somewhere. For someone untrained like you its a miracle you can even use them at all."

+## Episode 51: Convergence
+
+A bright flash appears, Camilla stands before a ritual circle and Elana is shaking her head back and forth.
+"I don't know how fun this is going to be..." Elana says.
+Ozen from behind "The pain is only temporary, someone like you should be able to handle it, remember" she hands Camilla a bit for the pain.
+Rachel approaches and gives a deep breath in preparation. Takes a look back at the group in the chamber: Ozen, herself, her eonwing, and Elana. "Alright, lets hope this works" -- she closes her eyes and begins a rythmic chant in the Valerian language.
+As Camilla begins to feel an energy manifest around her, then within as silver flashes around as it builds. The chants climax and then she feels it, as if her very soul is being torn out from her chest her lungs and skull undergoing indescribable pain. A loud noise as the dial above the ritual begins to wind faster and faster until she ceases to feel it. A bright flash and her body falls onto the ground.
+The dust begins to clear and in the receiving node four figures emerge from the darkness -- the four from back in time.
+
+---
+
+We awake from a deep sleep as our joints regain control and we see a familiar sighting. Elana's tower.
+
+Ozen speaks up "I knew they weren't dead".
+
+As we notice Camilla her arm (which contained the ring) is severed from the shoulder down.
+There is someone we need to meet, a half frog with a human top half and bottom half frog/centaur legs. Named Peter.
+Camilla looks notably older, around 10 years older.
+140 years to go 14000 years back in time.
+
+Rachel Renethal is a Kyrie, just like Styra Renethal. Passed through her generations this event was known to happen.
+The Traveler, a minor deity in these times (it worked).
+
+The figurine that Noxx had made of Babu, transformed into Taterthorn the Timeless from current year.
+
+Recap on the war effort from Ozen's PoV.
+The primary fronts of battle are focused between Dravenguard and Stonemarsh, then the city of Tidecrest so they can gain control of the sea. Everyone in the south is allied with the resistance except Amberglade who is staying neutral.
+While Galescar has allied with the North, it hasn't offered much benefit beside oracalcum, something that is abundent everywhere in Daein.
+Ferrick and the farlanders are expected back here in two days time, to meet outside of the shadow isles on neutral grounds, in roughly 5-6 days with Queen Olyncia, Ozen, and King Vezimir.
+
+Camilla notes that Noxx's wife arrived safe. Ozen walks over to Noxx and takes a folded piece of paper and hands it to him. It has a room number at the Immovable mug where his wife resides.
+
+Makuvia, a dwarf, who Camilla met when she returned to stonemarsh told Ozen we were dead then they discussed the situation.
+Emperor Vyros The God Touched, is the current emperor of Valeria.
+
+Ozen & Ulq meeting, Ozen asked for help, but ulq wants something in the north (artifact) in exchange.
+Camilla did a solid for Ozen and Ozen exchanged the favor.
+They went on a fun trip and bonded a lot with Makuvia, Ulq, and Caseus. Sol, gods rest his soul died.
+They went to the Frostburn Depths - where the artifact was. They found it and Mannimarco -- who had a lot more tricks up his sleeve -- found them and messed Camilla up pretty bad. They found an artifact-creature, which is both an artifact and a creature, was killed by Ulq. Theory is that killing it deactivates the creature in a way.
+While fighting Mannimarco was sending copies of himself that would fight and explode after destroyed.
+After she got hit she was frozen. Similar to the one that attacked us in Noxx's bar that one time.
+Mannimarco, knifed her when frozen and stole her arm. Why didn't she die? He had to have had some knowledge about how to separate the ring from him.
+Sol died because they were in a mine of oracalcum and he got blown up.
+
+> Ask Ky'Mytha about the specifics of the contract, and whether or not it counts that Mannimarco has the ring which is still technically on Camilla's finger.
+
+Camilla wakes up in some ruins after Sol saves her. Unsure how much time has passed. The artifact creature was dead in front of her and Ulq got his artifact and swore allegiance to Ozen's cause.
+Afterwards Camilla just kinda partied and hung out with her new crew.
+
+#### Date: 16th of Heimdalas
+
+> Something big is going to happen in 1.5 months.
+
+Elana Indigo is holding the sphere (slipgate) that group gave her before they left.
+She made a contraption to auto-unlock the sphere.
+Elana explains that they can cause explosions at the site of the teleportation.
+
+> The artifact-creature was an Emissary, and the dude we met Emissary was one too.
+
+This one looked like a Lizard though and our guy looked like Ornn.
+We approach the Marble Chalice.
+
+We enter the high end bar club place, and Camilla introduces us to Ulq.
+
+We enter the penthouse floor and we see a dwarf bathing.
+"You aren't too relaxed for some drinking are you?" Camilla says.
+
+Makuvia looks at Locke and says "You're the one like us".
+"Bit thin for an Aroncar don'tya think?"
+
+Ulq can read minds. Same fasion as Eldric Moonbrooke.
+
+Makuvia suggests drinks, and mentioned that Cassius may come at some point tonight.
+There is a private bar, there are a few Aroncar that are stationed at this penthouse.
+
+> Blake Blackfoot, Stillbane was working under Lockes father, stillborn had allegiances elsewhere to a Valerian Aroncar, he went missing the day that his fathers eyes got slashed.
+
+Noxx and Neil go to meet up with Noxx's wife, known as My Wife. Everyone is very happy to see each other.
+Noxx wrote letters to her for every day they were gone. Noxx asks the big questions and asks about Doug.
+She is unaware if Doug is alive. She heads to the library with them as Noxx catches his wife up.
+They make it to the 24 hour library and Neil explains he needs to research two things: an accounting of someone who escaped or changed their fate, and an understanding of how and when Bren made the veil, and was that fated or not.
+
+> My Wife is spelt Mi Wif.
+
+Back to the group in the penthouse. We are conversing with Makuvia.
+Camilla and Makuvia are drunk at this point. And Camilla goes to grab Ulq and Cassius.
+As she goes to do that Makuvia, gets a bit concerned and warns Camilla about barging into his office.
+Cassius and Ulq were in a heated argument about something before Camilla walked down to get the two.
+
+Ulq complains to Camilla about Cassius being arrogant, and unwise being human afterall.
+She tries to invite Ulq to drink with us and he is against it. Ulq asks about the ritual.
+
+Cassius walks out and is a hulking 6ft 8in man shreadded with muscle. He looks pissed as he begins to yell at Makuvia until he notices the guests.
+
+Locke and Cassius joust for fun.
+
+Ulq, reads Bits mind and sees that I am Eldric's protege, sees everything.
+Ulq and ELdric are aquantences. Bit brings up his heritage and Ulq seems like he doesn't want to talk about the past then sends everyone that isn't myself and Locke out.
+As they leave Ulq shuts all the doors in the room at once with his magic.
+
+"Now that we are alone, unmasked" Ulq's visage begins to change and reveal a man in his early 30s as he begins to reverse the aging process. "Ask your questions, for I have mine".
