News about the closed shop and the disappearance of Mukus disrupted Ashur's plans to assess the local selection after successfully completing the assignment. A good merchant always keeps the shop open during business hours, he thought. Was there really no one to put behind the counter?
Near the lake, the squad found Mukus in a battle with an unknown individual and tried to assist, but it was too late – Mukus was struck down, as was his opponent shortly after. The lilies lying nearby, seemingly unconscious, came to their senses, but it didn't help much – one was grieving over the death of Mukus's opponent, while the others laughed at her and claimed that the two of them had been mocking them, while Mukus had come to their aid. All this jumbled information shed little light on what had happened. Who was this person, and why did Mukus try not to kill him, while the other was determined to finish off the lily?

Ashur decided to turn to the rescued women.
“Have you seen Lady Zamia? Rumor has it that she closed the shop early in the morning, posting a sign saying that it would open a couple of hours later, and went to the lake. Since then, there has been no news of her.”
