Returning to the Witch Queen's oubliette, entering into the Altars of Summoning, the Guardians already hear the voice of Xivu Arath herself, taunting them on how that even Warriors of the Light honor the Sword Logic, claiming that her sister's spire and the Altars as proof. At the Altar of Devotion, the Guardians managed to slay [[Ir Dollox]] and [[Ir Kaza]], Talons of Xivu Arath before they could claim tithes for Xivu Arath. Fortunately, their deaths serve as more tithes for Eris just the same which only leaves Xivu Arath incensed. As the Guardians neared the next Altar, Xivu Arath summons her best general, [[Leviathan-Eater, Bane of the Ammonites]], to face them. However, before their battle could proceed any further, the Leviathan-Eater withdraws, leading Ikora to believe that he was testing the Guardians' capabilities but he be back with reinforcements once Xivu’s brood has been assembled.

Ikora continues to have deep reservation about the plan and how it affects Eris, especially after learning of her newly forged bond with Ahsa. From her and Sloane, Ikora and the Guardian learn that Ahsa helps contain the energy of the tithes they collect for Eris but if the if the ritual goes on for too long then Eris will remain trapped as a Hive while Ahsa becomes twisted into something horrible. With this knowledge, Ikora consults with Eris once more, who while remaining resolute, she is troubled that her covenant with Ahsa has led her to suffer pain and Eris gains power from it. Nonetheless, Eris refuses to let the ritual change her into something she is not. Further, Eris states to Ikora that, however regrettable, when she first invoked the Worm Gods in her ritual, Ahsa was the one who answered. As such, Eris states that the risk of the ritual is theirs to make.
