Over breakfast, Eren informed the party that he had visited Nyx. He learned that she was an Atu, and she was the one to bring him back to life. She was Empress Nikoleta's mentor. Despite his warning that the party was being used, they chose to go see her anyway.
Floros' Flickerings was dark and the door opened on its own. In the back room, they found Hecate possessed by Nyx, with a map spread across the table. Nyx threatened the group, warning them to take things seriously before revealing more locations of Atu and members of the minor suites. Again, she stated that the Court of Eight was not ready to face what awaited them in Racine.
Sah-Ghan tried to cast a spell at Nyx, but his hand and arm began to die until he pulled them away. Nyx warned that anyone caught in Racine's abyss would be gone. Not necessarily dead, but gone. Kyllikki had a full-blown panic attack at this statement, terrified of the implications for her father and clan.
With the warning still ringing in their ears, the party departed for Racine anyway, determined to see for themselves what had happened.
