Life, Milestone
Jark recieves word from Smoking Mirror that Ymezra, daughter of Jessamine is in danger. Smoking Mirror however has already been gravely injured, and the figure disguised as him was the figure in the Bronze Mask, the same they had fought and killed in Camp Vengeance. Jark rescues the girl, and together with The Sexiles gets her safely to Jessamine. Jessamine executes Smoking Mirror for his failure. It turns out many of Jessamine's agents had been targeted, she reveals the Bronze Mask had tasked her in finding the Artifacts of Ubtao for him, and in return he would ensure she and her daughter would be spared from the Death Curse. Instead, jessamine was acting to find and secure the Artefacts, either to keep them from him, or to use them against him. She pays the Sexiles to take on this task, knowing her time is running out, and the Bronze Mask is still in the city, along with the shapeshifter who had been Kristoff Kallahn. Jark leaves the Sexiles to become Ymezra's guardian.
