==Synopsis==
The [[Grand Design of Isthekenous]] becomes busy as it goes over its notes after receiving critique from the 2nd Edition, while the Grand Design is distracted [[Mrsha du Marquin|Mrsha]] goes off snooping around the world to know what is happening next.

[Senator] [[Errif Jealwind|Errif]] makes his way to [[Edellein Blackwing|Edellein's]] mansion on the 6th floor in [[Pallass]] thinking about how the power struggle between High Command and the Assembly of Crafts has changed ever since [[Chaldion Oliwing|Chaldion]] took charge and the consequences of that. Knowing the very public defeat of the 2nd Army, Errif wonders if he should cut ties with Edellein as he meets said General who seems uninhibited from the defeat. Other big shakers and movers of Pallass arrive at the mansion to discuss, Edellein manages to politic his way through this quagmire tossing doubt in their minds about who will be an appropriate replacement for him. Many of the possible replacements lack certain characteristics that are desirable for those in power, Mrsha listening in can see the writing on the wall as the party comes to an end.

Errif on a podium starts his formal address to his constituents within his district, Errif attempts to downplay the fault of Edellein actions but a citizen argues with the [Senator]. [[Carrel Wifang|Carrel]] brings up a recording of Edellein Speaking to [[Asiv]] about refusing to surrender or retreating, an altercation occurs for control of the speaking stone leading to the arrest of many citizens as Errif storms to the Assembly of Crafts with an angry crowd following behind him.

[[Laken Godart|Laken]] reflects on what ''"Ten Years Later"'' [[Pebblesnatch]] told him during their short conversation, advice for the future seeing the parallels from the advice he had gotten from [[Tamaroth]]. As he watches the [[Witches]] get injured from their attempts at flying on a broom, all Laken can feel is a bit of jealousy that he didn't have anyone that stayed behind.

The [[Goblins]] of [[Goblinlands]] within the [[Unseen Empire]] stay hidden within their caves ever since the return of [[The Goblin King]] protecting themselves from potential bombardments. A strange Witch appeared and had a long, complex conversation with the Goblins, it didn't mean much to Pebblesnatch as she's busy with cooking. Even so she is thankful to the unknown Witch for the cookbook she received.

[[Valeterisa Imarris|Valeterisa]] tries to figure out an appropriate time schedule for her daily activities and plotting out future endeavors as [[Montressa du Valeross|Montressa]] does her best to write it all down while crying due to what happened. Valeterisa understands the desire to let those emotions out and deal with them, but her focus aims her towards a conflict with the [[Fissival|City of Incantations]] ruminating on how to siege such a city.

Mrsha doesn't like what she has seen hoping for more good than ill, she chases a thread of fate connected to her through the [[Floodplains]] seeing a familiar farmhouse.

The remaining Lischelle-Drakles and [[Vaulont]] discuss pleasantries as other Vampires arrive at the farmhouse partaking in the food. After everyone arrives [[Colfa val Lischelle-Drakle|Colfa]] explains the necessary parts of what transpired and the information she received from opening many doors in the [[Palace of Fates|[Palace of Fates]]]. Many futures have the Vampires eradicated on all continents by [Vampire Hunters], and while there are potential futures of hope it carries the weight that the struggle will not end.

[[Rhisveri Zessoprical|Rhisveri]] sits there defeated as those around him try to seek answers from the lassitude [[Wyrm]], all he can bring up is how weak he was and blind towards the child. Rhisveri wallows in his misery until someone wearing the armor of the late Great Knight [[Eclizza]] starts slapping him multiple times, seeing who the [[Knight]] is Rhisveri is shocked to see that one of them decided to remain. Being able to see the ghost of Mrsha smiling at him, Rhisveri can only continue to cry.

Mrsha travels to the [[High Passes]] near [[Goblinhome]] witnessing the 2nd Army of Pallass gathering the bodies of the dead, the [[Frost Wyvern Lord]] however is still ready for a fight and dives at the [Soldiers]. [[Teriarch]] fails at placating the [[Wyverns|Wyvern]] and it takes a fireball coming from [[Rags]] to stop the flying thing from creating more havoc, after hearing her words does the Wyvern lord ceases it aggressive behavior. Bringing the Wyvern Lord and Rags to his cave for some refreshments and food, Teriarch tells of his encounter with the Wyvern Queen when he first came to the High Passes. The old [[Dragon]] goes on to talk about Dragon tradition and his failing to mourn the many lost and dead, Rags interjects that they are outsiders to his stories and if he has anything new for them. Teriarch says that Dragons even if they are superior to Wyverns that they were jealous that their species dwindled while their lesser cousin could proliferate. After saying his piece Teriarch gifts his Dragonthrone to the Wyvern Lord, the three go inside the Dragonthrone and the Wyvern can see the use of it. Teriarch and Rags leaves the throne and talk about the ring artifacts acquired from the Palace. Seeing the reaction from the Dragon tells the Wyvern it was a good idea to accept the gift, it screams of damned hope calling his weyr to him as he flies above in the sky. Teriarch watches Rags use her new rings to call for a ride back with the two not noticing the ghost of a little [[Gnoll]] peeking at them.

After seeing moments that mattered, Mrsha makes her way to where her mother is, she see that the [[Magical Door]] is still being operated and the inn staff digging a grave in the [[Garden of Sanctuary|[Garden of Sanctuary]]]. Seeing them construct her funeral, Mrsha screams at them that she is still alive, but nobody can hear her. Looking again for her mother she see one of the spies make their way to the [[World's Eye Theatre|[World's Eye Theatre]]], [[Lyonette du Marquin|Lyonette]] sits there denying to speak with her mother as she takes on the call from others. After taking a number of calls, a [[Calanfer|Calanferian]] servant brings in a [[scrying orbs]] with [[Ielane du Marquin|Ielane]] on the other side knowing that everything is not fine, Lyonette quickly shuts down the conversation before continuing onwards until [[Ushar]] informs her that it is time.

Mrsha floats in the common room too afraid to attend her own funeral in the Garden, she hears a conversation of those drinking at the bar trying to distract themselves of what is occurring nearby. Many thought that they were going to be fired for running rather than fighting The Goblin King, but [[Ishkr Silverfang|Ishkr]] tells them that they are not fired for doing what they did and speaks on what is happening next to [[The Wandering Inn]]. [[Todi]] bursts out in anger that they're focusing on the wrong thing and not what matters such as getting [Thought Healers], Ishkr tells them that after similar events that they just marched on with life. [[Bird]] says that with the raising stakes and [[Erin Solstice|Erin's]] unwillingness to bend on certain beliefs that conflict would naturally arise, that with all the cost to protect those beliefs comes with the power to change the world.

Ishkr questions the reason Mrsha do what she did with Bird explaining that she couldn't trust the rest of them to do it right because the people she can look up to have failed in the past. They go on to talk about what they would've done if they were the one with Mrsha's opportunity, to take all the riches they could've reached rather than do what Mrsha did. [[Dalimont]] shares his experience, regrets, understanding and realization that he now fights to make those he cares about feel carefree and safe to everyone in the inn. Mrsha follows Todi and [[Earlia]] into the garden, she reaches out to her mother but the Grand Design whisks her away.

The Grand Design and Mrsha walk into [[Hellste]], they hear the bellowing of The Goblin King which are strong enough to make the realm tremble. The two converse with the raging Goblin King as the Grand Design reveals to the souls that it has remade a new version of [[Kasignel]] and tells them to garb its hand to be transferred over, to the Goblins as well. It then plucks the Heaven of the [[Antinium]] and places it in a more fitting location while also giving them a tool to better create their Heaven. Another correction it does is transfer some of those that were damned to Hellste to Kasignel just for having a red class, Hellste is a place for those that revel in their sins. An amalgamation of souls that have given into their horror classes appears before the Grand Design extending a finger out to it, Emir [[Riqre’ma Medaale|Riqre]] on that finger appeals to the Grand Design for fairness and redemption. The Grand Design says that this is the price for their depraved deeds and takes Mrsha away for her turn.

After a failed joke, the Grand Design apologizes for what it did when confronting her in her room that one time and explains the disconnect it has with the decisions and intentions of certain people such as Erin and her. That it has difficulties connecting the actions taken with what the mind is telling, that the Grand Design is the dream of fairness since true fairness is a lie. Mrsha goes over the corrections it has does and fears for what comes next, the right moment occurs when someone falls asleep.

[[Mrsha du Marquin (Root)|Root Mrsha]] has trouble falling asleep thinking about if she can replace the original Mrsha and if things would ever go back to normal, Root Mrsha finds herself with the Grand Design and the original Mrsha as the Grand Design acknowledges it wrongdoing to Root Mrsha. The Grand Design then shared what it has planned for the two of them, to combine the souls of the both of them into one being. Using what it has learned from seeing [[Halrac Everam|Halrac]] merge with all versions of himself, the Grand Design gives them the choice while also giving the choice to the [[Kevin Hall|Kevins]] and others in a similar situation. The two Mrshas converse about their experiences in the Palace after they split, they have a deep conversation about the choice before calling on the Grand Design for some clarification. Now knowing that no matter what is said the Grand Design wouldn't retaliate out of spite, Mrsha shares her true feelings about the Grand Design and the whole Palace debacle. That she is responsible for what happened in the Palace and accepts that, but that the Grand Design hasn't acknowledged the responsibility it has in all of it using the guise of impartiality as an excuse for inaction. She sees the Grand Design shifts into many forms, creating a second head to observe itself, it is judging the weight of its own sin. It shoves all of that into a cardboard box as the Grand Design believes it to being too much of an obstacle to process at the moment and lets the Mrshas go on with their choice. The two Mrshas accept becoming one and are fused together, Mrsha rejoices at her new existence and receives her long awaited rewards from the system as she wakes up.
