After Sepheron had safely exited the boundaries of the Forbidden Ground of Hyperborea, William returned to the Thousand Beast Domain, alongside the three Nymphs.
Opsis, and Loxos were still unconscious, so the second eldest, Hekaergos, took them to the rooms that were assigned to them to get a proper rest.
Meanwhile, William called Chloee, and Princess Aila to his room to talk about something important.
However, when the two girls arrived at William's room, they found the Half-Elf almost collapsed near his bed and panting for breath.
Immediately, Princess Aila went to William's side and assessed his situation. Her face became grim when she noticed that the instability in William's soul had progressed to a dangerous degree.
Chloee helped the Princess carry William to the bed, as the latter endured the pain that was wracking his entire body.
