Episode 13: The Main Attraction.



An epic fight breaks out as chaos unleashes in the circus. Gemevieve, Taylansta, Wood, Baird and Ganymede fight head to head with Sterling, Euphoria, and their robot army. Everyone gets to show off their incredible powers, such as Taylansta’s shadowy fighting tactics, Wood’s flashy and dramatic swordwork, Baird’s thunderous roars and electric damage, and Gem’s unique manipulation of her body’s crystals. The fight is heated and tense, with Sterling also showing off her impressive and terrifying mind control abilities to attempt to turn Benoa against the heroes. However, her efforts are fruitless as Gemevieve overtakes her and takes her life right then and there, revenge for years of torment and abuse. Before making their getaway, Dorokhov promises to stay behind, defending himself with the last of his strength against the last of the robots. Benoa takes the party, along with Priscani and Moth, back to The Shepherd in Eván. As Benoa flies away, they watch the circus burn to the ground, some of the animals and freaks escaping, but others being overtaken by the flames. Despite some losses, the party moves forward, eager to reunite with those on The Shepherd… for the most part. Gemevieve, nervous to return, catches up with her friend Ganymede, possibly facing some repressed feelings towards her after seeing her again. Benoa drops them off in order to return to his own home, a mountain called Lah'Tekai, where he promises to meet with Gem again someday. Back on The Shepherd, everyone meets with one another once again, for better or for worse. Callisto sees his long lost twin again after having no memory of her to recall, so Cici creates a distraction so that he can prepare for a hard conversation. Cici, found again after being gone for years, is met with mixed reactions from the returning heroes. It’s clear that Baird and Cici were once good friends in childhood, but Ganymede and Cici butt heads in their positions as Methandi’s right hand. Caretaker Railund tells the party that they have figured out where two other champions might be located, and that the boat will be splitting up to go find them in the coming days. Once the champions are found, the Shepherd will begin their hunts for everyone’s respective Divine Weapon: the weapon crafted by the Gods that they are destined to wield.
