In the time since the abduction of the Ice Tribe's heirs, the rest of the continent has grown closer to catastrophe. Thalone's desperation to reunite with his family has only risen, and he wonders endlessly what has happened to Aquaria and Cerulean, now Mikoto and Corrin, in his absence. However, finding them on his own is a nearly impossible feat due to his duties involving the invisible soldiers holding him back. This does not meant hat he can't call for aid from outside sources though, and the time has come for him to reach through to another world where heroes yet wait...

(The chapter opens to show Thalone and Lilith moving through Valla.)

Thalone: I should be able to call for assistance as soon as we arrive at the mines...

Lilith: I'm glad to hear it. While you're gone finding others to help us, I can stay here and make sure that nobody steps out of line and causes trouble. They'll listen to me if they know that's what you want.

Thalone: I'm counting on you, Lilith.

Lilith: Thank you.

Thalone: For now, let's find people to offer us aid.

(The gameplay segment of the chapter begins. The objective is to take Thalone and Lilith to the other end of the map. After such has been accomplished, the following dialogue plays out as the duo descends further into the mines.)

Lilith: The stones here can easily be used to call for assistance from another time or world. If we use them properly, then we can shift between dimensions without any issues.

Thalone: That's exactly what I was aiming for. Of course, it won't be easy to simply find people to offer us aid, but... I believe that we'll be able to do it with a little bit of hard work.

Lilith: I believe that you're right... You possess immense power, Thalone. Perhaps you could attempt to contact other dimensions with your strength in magic. That would certainly make the search easier, and you wouldn't have to focus on finding someone for too long if you already had a few parties in mind that would be able to help you find Cerulean.

Thalone: No... Help us find Cerulean. Lilith... I believe that I would like you to aid our new assistants as they integrate into the continent of Pheuyura.

Lilith: What? Are you sure?

Thalone: I can handle matters here in Valla. Besides, we need to make sure that nobody realizes that we called for help from another world. That will earn us suspicion, and we don't want anyone interfering in Valla if we can avoid it. You can help to soften the transition, and I believe that you would be perfect to find Cerulean. In a way... You could be considered siblings.

Lilith: I suppose you're right... Okay. I trust that you'll be able to take care of everything here in Valla on your own then.

Thalone: I did it for years before we first met, so there's nothing for you to be concerned over. Trust me when I say that I believe this is for the best.

Lilith: You know that I have nothing more than complete faith in you... Alright. I'll go and make sure that everything is okay. You focus on finding help.

Thalone: Until we meet again.

(Lilith leaves the mines, and Thalone picks up a nearby blue stone before shifting location. He winds up standing on the Mila Tree on the continent of Valm.)

Thalone: I can sense great strength from this world... I believe that I will be more than able to find heroes to aid our cause here... It's only a matter of time before the pieces begin to fall into place in full...

(The chapter ends as Thalone walks away to begin his search.)
