| Femke studies the letter a little longer. " What do you think Miss Locus?" Fluffle asks with big eyes. " The second paragraph is difficult to understand. But the first one implies that one of the Szefowie works for the factions that opposes the Enemy." - Letter:
Brother.
Stanislaw Koski is dead. Old age. The next First will undoubtedly be chosen by combat, and the Enemy will make a bid for it. I will do the same, but if I fail, I will at the very least try to take the Enemy down with me. Otherwise, disaster will befall us all.
This might be the opportunity we were waiting for. If you can convince Jacob of initiating a pre-emptive strike, we could put an end to this long struggle. It’s becoming more and more obvious that not all of us have the mental fortitude to accomplish this task. Our father might remain unwavering in his commitment to our cause, but the same cannot be said for the rest of us. As for Jacob, idealism will be his downfall. We must make sure it doesn’t cause ours.
As always, take care.

| Mihai gives it another read - "You're right." - he considers something - "But even if it is, we got one shot out of 12 of getting it right - i don't like those odds. And even if we did, after what they did to us, they're the last people i trust right now." |

| "So we enter the tournament, then. They might be hiding their power, but they'll have to use it if they want to win and take the title of First. As long as we advance in the tournament, our chances of narrowing it down go up until we find them. The monster is only a bid to stall for preparation. The sooner we solve that riddle, the sooner we end their preparations and start the tournament without further delay." |

| "We don't necessarily need to win to win though. We just want to stop the Enemy right? If we remove the reason for conflict, then there's no conflict anymore. Right?" He looks around at everyone. |

| When Steve's eyes fall on Femke, she responds with an impassive tone.
"The Tykes will defer to your judgment." |

| Konrad nods. "If it comes to it, I can be the one to bear the hate of the crowd should it become necessary to kill anyone unconscious or surrendering. As for Edward and his team, well if we encounter them before the Enemy, what will be will be." He shrugs. |

| "There are too many variables right now to say for certain. There's still the chance that the Enemy has a backup in store in case Duma fails. That chance will narrow down as candidates get knocked off. If we meet him in a Final, we know he's the only one left."
"If he's unconscious, we Orb him. It's a gamble either way, but having to explain executing a Candidate in cold blood might attract more attention than just shoving the thing into his forehead. Besides, there's no guarantee the Elemental won't just snap and take control of the Aspect if that happens. I don't want a repeat of last year if we can avoid it." |

| "That's very sensible. We'll need to learn all we can about the candidates before we get involved. All in all, defeating them will be enough. We can deal with any desperate leftovers once the tournament is over." |

| After waiting a little bit to see if anyone has anything else to say, Steve will clear his throat and proceed with his gift. "Before we go, I have something I want to do. Come here, Femke. I have something for you." |

| "Yes?"
Femke approaches Steve. Her face doesn't betray any feeling. |

| Steve opens up the bag of holding and pulls out the hat and presents it to her. "Here. It's a hat. For your head. You know, for singing the other day. I thought you might like one of your own. That way when we sing together again you won't be left out. Here, try it on." He hands it to her and pulls out his mirror so she can see what she looks like with it on. |

| The Tyke takes the gift in her hands and examines it from every angle. She calmly puts it on her head, looks at herself in the mirror, and then rotates it a few degrees to the left. Satisfied, she nods and then says to the black mage, "Thank you, Steve."
She now realizes that everyone is looking at her; Amber and Fluffle seem amused by this scene. This makes her blush just a little. |

| Mihai thinks about something, and slightly hesitates to break up the good mood but finally speaks up - "Femke, could you try and find out more about Czelusniak or the people backing him? It's a long shot, but he's the only other nail that sticks out. Edward would make sure his candidate had a good shot at succession." |

| "Can you do the same with Miss Zerva? She's one of them keeping her cards close to her chest. I want you to try and 'peak when she's not looking', rozumiesz?" |

| With her new flapper hat on her head, Femke nods at her comrades.
"I will investigate these two individuals," she tells the party. "I must warn you however that it will most likely be impossible for me to infiltrate the Arena. The risks would be too great." |

| The Tyke's response to Mihai is short.
"Of course," she says.
She looks at Steve's thumb and after a short pause, she does the same.
This makes Amber smile. She walks out of the captain's quarters with Fluffle in her hood and then says to the others, "You coming?" |
