Elise is disturbed from a night's ride when her guard wrestles with an Eeee he found bragging in Darkside about capturing Elise's sister. The Eeee recognizes Elise as "Godslayer", and Elise plays up the Eeee's fears, getting him to confess to helping abduct her sister. She then pays a visit to the elder de Ayde – father of her sister's fiance – and accuses him of abducting Katherine. The elderly poodle insists upon his innocence, but Elise leaves two guards to keep watch over him as she leaves.
