      Obsidian comes with the Boil with the enforcing detachment of the Dead Hand in order to 'pacify' it, breaking down the city's gates. Kanti and Alex stand against them alone, in a battle that shook the Boil, destroyed its vicinity, and as the Child of Wyld Days came to help them, Obsidian channelled too much of the shock downwards, breaking the ground and falling to the darkness beneath the Boil. Iron Tears has the Spookies clean it up and seal the hole. Lacraia attacks and nearly kills Seventh Moon, stopped at the last moment by Allistair and Melantha. She leaves believing she did kill him. Before he loses consciousness near death, he forms a rapport with her. Days gifts Alex with a halo, and Kanti with a dress and fans for dancing.

      The Exalted engage the battle with the General's forces. Ryshassa sings to stop the effect of the enemy's chanting on her armies. Selina destroy their leviathans, with the help of Iselsis, Vorpal and Alexsei, who work together to bring silence to the battlefield and destroy most of their airbone war machines in one fell swoop. Iron Whisper tries to stop Ryshassa from singing, but Cael quickly cripples her, but lets her go. Brael Ir creates trees and such from the ground, but is taken down by the combined might of the de Windia sisters, finally taking a dirt nap by a kick by Ice. Iselsis wounds Cathak Marr badly, but is taken down by him, and saved by Selina and Alexsei moments before he finishes her. Blight Lily is hurt by the Pale Angel, and protect by the General, she disappears. Gennadi takes Whiro, the General's Behemoth, against all expectations, and all proceed to take on the General, who, even after absorbing his familiar's strength, falls before the might of the Exalted.

      As his last act, the General breaks Spire's 'key', letting things loose inside the city. The Palace of Timeless Winters sprouts branches and towers, going from tower to castle, while a number of buildings simply come out of the ground and become part of the city's landscape, while raw essence suffuses it like a miasma... a heroic group of Windians goes into it and stops this release, with heavy casualties. Four beasts leave Spire in conflagration of Fire and Essence.

      The Pale Angel is drained, and falls into bleak despair, a vulture on the battlefield, looking for blood, too tired and drained to think of anything but the Void. Cael finds Iron Whisper, manages to break her faith, oath her not to strike at them ever again, and leaves her be, spending the night with a river spirit. Iselsis has strange, prophetic dreams where she remembers her past and has her subconcious urge her to remember, but before the demon inside her takes her over and destroys her soul, Ryshassa pushes her off those depths and back to the world. Selina holds her tightly.
