tl;dr[edit | edit source]

After Teriarch easily defeats the Horns, Erin explains the iPhone to him.

Erin awakens in the Frenzied Hare thinking of the differences between her mornings here and back on Earth. After making breakfast Erin heads to Stitchworks to convince Octavia to make baking soda before using the magic door that was placed there to travel to the wagon headed for Liscor. After handing out food to the Horns of Hammerad and the wagon driver Termin, Pisces begins to complain about not staying at the inn overnight before the other Horns overrule his idea.

After the door was first used the prior night Erin begins to have visitors from around Celum, first to offer to buy the door for large amounts of gold, then later representatives from the Merchant's, Runner's and Mage's Guilds to discuss the doors use until Erin punches one of the merchants. Eventually she strikes an agreement with the Mage and Runner's guild not to use it to deliver letters and moves the door to Stitchworks instead of the Frenzied Hare.

As Erin and the Horns discuss the potential uses for the door her [Dangersense] goes off as she sees an old man standing in the middle of the road ahead. The old man silences the Horns and attempts to talk to Erin but Ceria intervenes. Deciding that it's the fastest way the old man easily defeats the Horns as they attack him using only Tier 2 spells, as well as Erin when she tries to help them.

Teriarch holds up his copy of Ryoka's iPhone and asks Erin to explain it to him. After she points out that there is no internet in this world and shows him how to open other apps. But when Erin's [Dangersense] remains she asks about Teriarch's hostility and he explains that there's a nearby Goblin army passing by. Instead of directly intervening Teriarch instead shows Pisces and Ceria how to create a snowstorm to cover them using the freshly fallen snow.

The Goblin army gathes closer together as they march through the snowstorm, passing by the group. After Teriarch gives his last bits of advice to the Mages, Pisces requests to be his apprentice but he immediately declines. The real Teriarch in his cave releases the spell controlling the human form before remembering when he had met Erin, but instead of re-interrogating her he continues to amuse himself with the iPhone.
