Darkstalker

Content Warning: This section of the guide includes discussion of death.

Fathom and Indigo wander through the NightWing castle, trying to find their rooms. Indigo shares that Queen Pearl plans to move the royal family to the Summer Palace that Albatross built because everyone believes that ghosts haunt the Island Palace. Fathom shudders, finding the Summer Palace equally steeped in evil. A NightWing guide leads them to their rooms and warns them that NightWings usually stay up all night, so breakfast will not be served until midday.

Later, Indigo and Fathom have a heart-to-heart conversation about their relationship, reaffirming their friendship. Indigo assures Fathom that he is not like Albatross and asks if he wants her to leave. Fathom cannot bring himself to say yes. Questions and doubts race through his mind as they finally sleep.

Darkstalker returns home and broods over how easily Indigo could have killed him. He decides to enchant his scales to protect himself, but he fears that Clearsight will disapprove. He slips the enchantment between two older spells in his scroll to hide his actions.

Darkstalker enchants his scales to make them invulnerable, self-healing, and protected from any death threat.
