Silas arrives with his Blood-guards, relentless enforcers tracking the main characters through the scent left by a healing light used earlier. Despite warnings that their bodies can't withstand the Blood-guards, escape is too late. To hide their trail, one character uses a blood-scent sealing technique with an ice core, masking their presence. As the Blood-guards close in, the tension escalates until Silas confronts them directly, calling them 'poor little rats,' leaving their fate uncertain as the threat looms closer.
