In an effort to convince Sky Sundering Shadow to avoid irrevocably breaking the Elemental Pole of Fire, the Circle accompanies her there. In person. While her preparations prevent our heroes from immediately dying when they get there, surviving the heat of the literal hottest place in Creation still is a major obstacle! And that's not even getting into the army of fire spirits near the Pole, and Heshiesh himself is at the very top of it! Can our heroes get what they need while keeping both the Pole and themselves in one...

Terrifyingly, Lythander has to be the adult in the room for once, and with that comes an adruous task: meal prep! Gavel almost melts, and advises Sky on picking and choosing battles against Heaven and the Underworld! Aura communes with Big Fire himself, and has a very tense conversation with both Abyssals present on escaping this powder keg (literally) alive! Bhakari learns the truth about "anathema" and steps on a ton of social land mines all at once! And Sky makes her fateful decision on the designs of her new world, and on if now if the right time to betray her Deathlord...
