When a large pandawa arrives at the door of Tristepin and Evangelyne in the middle of a snowstorm, the family's life is turned upside down. Yugo and Ruel continue to seek out Adamai who has been missing since the battle against Ogrest. In the Sadida kingdom, Amalia stands vigil at the side of her dying father when Yugo and Ruel arrive bearing bad news.

Yugo, Amalia, Ruel, and Pinpin and Elely march towards Oropo's tower to rescue Evangelyne and Flopin. When Elely triggers a trap, the group are suspended in a temporal zone where each step ages them. Oropo probes the minds of the group, causing them to face their darkest fears.

Yugo, Amalia, Elely, and fake Ruel arrive at the Sadida floor wherethey meet the Demi-God of the race, revealing that she doesn't want to fight, but to talk. She discovers the Fake Ruel among their party and captures him. Arpagone tries to convince the real Ruel to join her and Oropo. Evangelyne and Flopin manage to escape their prison but are intercepted by Toxine and Echo. Echo tries to persuade them to come back, but Toxine electrocutes her and chains her up as her hate for Echo trumps everything else. She goes into a sadistic fight against Flopin and Eva and they somehow manage to fight her off but launching her into a Well of Shadows – a representation of her own soul, dark, evil, and chaotic – but she fires an energy bolt as she falls in, striking Eva in the womb and electrocuting her.
