Rurek tells Rizz and Oshu a very simple and short story about Izania's death, and also demonstrates a perfect cut between the head and torso of a Sord, which even the most skilled swordsman would not be able to make. At one time, Rurek had already shared Rada's sweet words about the Shadow with Rizz, so the great Sord should have understood what the point was. "It's like I was supposed to protect her, but in reality... I couldn't protect her from the Shadow. Not at all. It's impossible," Rurek clearly wanted to drink something stronger. Oh, ancestress of the Sord people! Another Sord died near them. Even a Sordling! Why is all this happening to him?!

Ivalai shows Dorian a painting executed in dark red tones. It depicts a rich city by the sea, whose main attractions are undoubtedly the majestic pyramids. In the center of the picture, on a sinister altar, lies a beautiful woman surrounded by flowers. Next to her is a man dressed in expensive clothes and wearing a golden crown on his head, who looks very much like Jingo. On the other side of her is an inconspicuous man in a hood and with a staff in his hand, most likely a Wizard. Numerous energy flows emanate from the woman, extending to the inhabitants of the city - they writhe in pain, as if their life energy and even their souls are leaving their bodies, serving as energy for the vessel located on the altar. Among the victims are the soldiers besieging the city, as well as a man with a fanatical look. Judging by the intense fiery aura that surrounds him, the moment he parts with his life will turn into a disaster for the couple performing the ritual.

Yuyukhu and Katarina discover...?

—This guy!.. —after glancing at the picture, he notices a familiar face at the head of the ritual. —I know him! Is this who they based it on? It can't be such a coincidence. It's as if I've seen these places, but I definitely haven't. And this... is this really just a "simple" painting?

—Well, if that's the case, then okay... —Dor still looks thoughtfully at the first image for some time. —Perhaps, all people simply look more alike than we think. But I liked how you conveyed so much action in a single, frozen scene!

- Where is Osh? - Jingo asks YuYu and Katarina with a gloomy face...

- Hmm, there, poor workers and soldiers were torn apart, and here, judging by everything, it was a bloody betrayal. You know, you have a somewhat... depressing outlook, don't you think?

—Regarding the theme? Well, um, death, rituals, blood, horror, all that stuff. It's not bad, don't think I'm pushing my very valuable opinion! I'm just observing, as an outside observer.

—Hmm, well, I'm not an immortal ivelai... — Dor hummed thoughtfully. —Okay, I agree! From the perspective of "contemplation," it's just another event. Another turn in the existence that people have invented for themselves. But from the perspective of a mortal person, all these things immediately become more beautiful than any other concept. That's why the first impression is completely different.

- She seems to have gone somewhere. - Katarina reports. - And you, are you back?
