- The coterie finally arrives at Tihuta Pass, and are greeted by Lucita and Anatole, two wanderers.
- Anatole, a prophet who believes his visions are warnings from God, informs the coterie that he is seeking important writings in the pass.
- While the others help him dig his way down the foundations, Steeple, using his strange magics, phases through the rubble and directly into the room they were looking for.
- After laboriously looking through the area, Steeple finds a hidden library and, within it, tablets written in an ancient, forgotten language.
- The others break through the rubble and join Steeple, Heldric continues searching and finds a golden translation key, they uncover the content of the tablets:
Thus, I set down my true visions that I may remember and keep to the path that I have chosen. Only I of us all shall know the truth and this shall be my shield and my spear. Most exalted shall I be in the time of the final days. Even the father shall quail before my might.
Let the lesser ones war one upon the other, each hearkening to the omens that I have foreseen. Fools, all! By my guile, they know not the actual signs, but merely shadows of the things that shall be.
Let the world tremble when I come in my might and majesty, for I shall rule above our father, above the mother who gave succor to our father, above the children of Seth, yea, even above God himself. Let the Reign of blood commence.
- The coterie makes copies of the tablets for themselves, and Steeple personally twists the key into an unusable mess. The tablets are sent with Anatole and Lucita to Count Radu.
