Ethan finally uncovers part of the truth behind Energheia and the Prophets’ relics. But in the meantime, the Republic is preparing its next move.

In Amathia, Admiral Ivor Jericho is summoned for a career-defining task. Aboard the Epos, Ethan returns to face the fallout, choosing what he stands for — and why he stays.

Trapped with no way out, the rebels fight to survive. But Ethan has made his choice… and now he acts on it.

Survival is no longer enough. Ethan faces a hard choice: to run forever, or to accept a fight in which he can no longer remain neutral.

Mud, rain, ragged breaths. Night hides the rebels’ retreat, but not Ethan’s turmoil. As they struggle to survive, fear and guilt begin to intertwine deep within the boy.

The ruins turn into a deadly trap: breath fades, hope falters. Yet within Ethan, something begins to burn—stronger than fear itself.

Amid flooded corridors and crumbling walls, a roar shakes the ruins. Now, for Ethan and the rebels, every step is uncertain, and time runs against them.

In Fairworth, the mission unfolds under disguise. Amid suspicious encounters and a tense atmosphere, Ethan finds himself drawn into a world revealing new customs and mysteries.

The weight of the mission bears down on Ethan, while those around him unsettle him with words and gestures that leave him wrong-footed. And there is something about Nipria he has not realised at all.

On the snow-covered deck of the Epos, Ethan shares Earth with Nipria. Between memories and confidences, an inexplicable detail rekindles the doubts surrounding his mystery.
