Meanwhile back in Shilo, Nemises is preparing to intervene, he reveals that he requires the shards of one of the staff fragments that are being worn as pendants around Torran and Selena's necks (which is the reason why they're acting like their old selves). He sends Kai to retrive them, sends Lethys after Gaise and Rayena and and sends Terra after Ragna, saying he senses that Ragna will become a nuisance in the future, he then heads for Claudandus and the two begin fighting.
