			In [[Agorria]], [[Dulin]] has finished telling [[Darak]] of the history of their race and the coming of [[Goliant]], as told in their sacred texts, and how only by keeping the Agorrians and Zertonians apart will the beast be kept at bay. Darak is hesitant given what he's seen, but ultimately accepts that the manipulation of each side might have been for the greater good, and father and son share a moment of peace in an otherwise fraught relationship. Dulin says that their next mission must be finding [[Solila]] and preventing her from spreading the knowledge she and Darak have acquired.

			In the depths of the [[Sacred Ring]], [[Beta (G1)\|Zerta Trion]] reactivates [[Vector Theta]]. Once again, the supercomputer is irritated at being awoken by its master, but Zerta tells it that in her current state, she cannot complete her mission. She tells the computer to instead bestow upon Solila the power to command the Sacred Ring. The computer does so, transforming Solila into a new armored form. Zerta asks Solila where she will begin her mission, and Solila decides to find Darak. As she thinks of her rival, the floor below her opens up and pulls her inside.

			Darak visits [[Elander]] in his cell. Darak asks if he knows about what is written in the sacred texts; he does, but dismisses the idea of Goliant as nothing but superstitious nonsense used to keep their people apart. Elander loves Agorria, but can't stand the idea of seeing the Zertonians suffer.
