We arrived at the heart chamber and rushed to Livia's aid. It was soon obvious that in order to stop the constant "immune system" attacks for good, we needed to find a way to seal the Mists gate and stop the flow of magic that Saevus feasted on. After clearing another round of enemies, Isgarren tried convincing Livia to sacrifice the Scepter of Orr, as it seemed the only viable option suited for the task. As might be expected, this suggestion went over like a lead airship. The Mists gate reactivated, spitting out hoards of shadow creatures. Strangely enough, the scepter proved ineffective against these creatures during battle, creating a new obstacle. Midambush, the shadow creatures cornered Anise. Before I or any of the others even had time to react, Poised Arrow sprang into action, guarding Anise against the onslaught. If the cub didn't already have my respect, he sure earned it for his heroism when it was sorely needed. But this was not the time for feel-good celebrations. Just when the ambush seemed to ease, the scepter began trembling in Livia's hands. Suddenly, in an entrance as grand as the wizard himself, Mabon emerged from the Mists gate! This was no dreamlike memory of Mabon. He or his essence greeted us with his typical warmth, as if just stepping off a Canthan beach. Wasting no time, he cast a ward over the Mists gate to prevent more unwelcome visitors from seeping through, anchoring himself to the spell. We...had questions. Fortunately, Mabon had answers he was willing to share. To sum it up, he suspects the three titans we'd defeated were forged by the souls of the three White Mantle members whose camp we discovered earlier. To put an end to the chaos, he believes that we must release their souls from the Mists using a touchstone important to each during their lifetimes. My next objective is to track down these touchstones across Tyria. Though Mabon is a powerful wizard, he can't hold the gate closed indefinitely. And so, my race against time begins.
