Temi’s destruction of the world around her continues back to the cave where she battled the serpent. However, a small white mage from the Axlotl clan Temi destroyed on the shore follows them and captures the inhuman Temi in a cage of crystal (Wholeness/ Refusal of Return).

Now frozen, Temi waits in a thoughtless, dreamless coma for someone to release her. After experiencing the waxing and waning powers and rage of a lunar goddess, Temi now has a complete personality and is willing to return home and forgive her previous torturers. Fortunately, a traveler finds her, breaks the crystal, and carries the still unconscious Temi to the closest town for medical aid – which happens to be her hometown (Rescue from Without / Crossing the Return Threshold).
