The Defenders are erecting barricades around the Dojo since they expect an attack from the Ethos. Seth goes out for a recon mission, Erik and Melosa keep reinforcing the defences, while Rion demands that they remove the restraining sigil from his head. Erik doesn't know how to do that so Rion asks for Mel's help, who decides to use her wizard powers on him. At the Ethos citadel Malco orders K'tash to retrieve the last Icon so she leaves, riding on Si'i, to lead a legion of sigil slayers towards the Dojo.
