Ariel is currently engaged in a secret feud with her brother Grabel over succession to Asura's throne, with her most loyal supporters being her other bodyguard Luke and his father Lord Pilemon. Later, Ariel learns that Sylphie suffers from nightmares related to the teleportation disaster, and Ariel confides that she has nightmares about her own near-death experience as well. The two decide to sleep together for the night; that night, Sylphie thwarts an assassination attempt arranged by Grabel.

Despite this setback, Counter Arrow successfully complete the quest and return to town, where Sara convinces Rudeus to join their victory celebration. However, during the celebration, the leader of Stepped Leader, Soldat, goes on a drunken rant, revealing that Rudeus, whom he can tell he is holding back his true power, irritates him badly.

Unfortunately for Rudeus, he discovers he is suffering from erectile dysfunction, which causes a disappointed Sara to leave. Afterwards, an embarrassed Rudeus tries to drink away his sorrows and ends up venting his feelings to Soldat. Soldat, figuring that Rudeus' issues lay with his lingering subconscious feelings for Eris, agrees to help Rudeus. He takes Rudeus to a local brothel where one of the prostitutes, Elise, also fails to arouse him; she theorizes that Rudeus cannot feel passion because he fears rejection from women. On the way home, a frustrated, drunk Rudeus goes on a rant, declaring that he dislikes Sara and finds her ugly. Sara happens to overhear his tirade; angrily confronting him, she slaps Rudeus, telling him she never wants to see him again before leaving. With his depression freshly renewed, Rudeus almost immediately tries to commit suicide, but Soldat, quickly appraising Rudeus' despair, stops him and offers to bring him along to clear a labyrinth in the Duchy of Neris. Meanwhile, Elinalise, who has been searching for Rudeus, learns that he has gone to the northlands. | ||||||||||||

Fitz suggests that Zanoba purchase a slave who can create sculptures for him. Rudeus, Fitz, and Zanoba then travel to the local slave market and purchase a young dwarf girl they name Julie.
