As the cabal watched the warehouse burn, they feel a tingle as something supernatural occurs. With the sirens on their way however, they quickly leave, picking up Merlin and attempting to contact Adele who they lost in the confusion. Meanwhile Adele is running across town in Twilight to the home of Father Joseph, in search of answers to her past. A past that Anna hinted at.
Hours later she confronts Father Joseph in the early morning hours. He deflects her questions and alerts her parents and the police to what had happened. Along the way Colt who was scouting the area also learns that she is safe. Hope meanwhile tells Adele that she was beginning to get more nervous as if something dark was watching her.
Much later Adele and the others investigate the site of the fire to find what was left of the evidence Anna had gathered. They find the charred and mutilated ghosts of several cultists, some of whom had been brutally sacrificed by Anna after Adele's escape. This ritual was different from the rest and indicated the demon had been drawn forth. There is little trace of Anna or the records. Adele destroys the sigils in blood after taking a picture with her phone, releasing the ghosts to the Underworld.
They pass this evidence to Athaliah who again calls on Goes to help to get the demon's resonance. As she begins her hunt for the creature Adele goes with Colt to confront Father Joseph again. This time they convince the old man to come clean. He reveals the truth; that a being of darkness wreathed in light told him to protect the child or suffer horrible agonies. He believed the thing to be a demon but hoped that Adele was not a thing of darkness. Recently he had begun dreaming of the creature again, ever since Adele Awakened.
Meanwhile Athaliah finds the item that the demon had possessed. She calls the cabal to the site, an apartment where a police officer lived. Just as they were deciding how to approach him, Detective Green appeared and went up to the apartment. While they worried how to deal with this development, they heard angry screams and followed by gunshots.
They hurry upstairs and find the cop dead, his wife brutally beaten, and Green in shock. Athaliah quickly mind controlled them and made them forget what had happened. Mammon finds the demon, possessing the knife that had taken Hope's life. It floods his mind with nightmarish images driving him slightly crazy. Nervously he hands off the dagger to Athaliah who quickly banishes the petty spirit to Hell. She warns however that whoever summoned it was still at large and may have gained much power from bargaining with it.
After the chaos of serial killers and demons, the group focuses their efforts on restoring the Sanctum. They analyze the spells that were deactivated determining them to likely to be a ward, some sort of Fate spell and a localized Death spell in the basement. Carefully they reactivate the spell in the basement. Instantly the area became cooler and darker. The room flooded with the resonance of Stygia. It was Rota's Demense.
With that repaired they decide to activate the other spells as well. The Fate spell remains mysterious but they restore the Ward, weak though it was. Finally Adele organized a seance to speak with the ghosts living in the house. They conduct the ritual in the Demense. As the call went out, four strange ghosts appeared. More like spirits, these terrifying beings consisted of the monstrous Whisperer, with her many mouths and no eyes; the ominous but idiotic Bogeyman; the old lady made of plaster, deemed the House,; and the Watchman, likely the shade of the mage Mobius. Though quite disturbing they seem peaceful and crudely convey that they are waiting for Rota to return and complete the plan. What the plan is exactly is unclear.
