On 2 September 2325, Sanel Vangris reports back to Ganchi Hiaba, Cail Milons, Saja Aamodt, and Karr Kinsel about what he learned from Martin Fenheim at the Black Rock Tournament of 2325 regarding Parus Vandir's recent activities. He said that Parus had challenged the Man from Petrarca, which Cail takes for a deathwish. Cail and Ganchi head for the Man's Petrarca fortress, while Sanel, Saja, and Karr investigate where the remaining Orkans are living.

Four days later, Ganchi and Cail arrive at the Petrarca fortress. Ganchi goes in alone and confronts the Man from Petrarca. They discuss Parus and his recent excursion to the fortress, the man distracting Ganchi as he prepares an enchantment to destroy Ganchi's second soul. Ken Hiyama interrupts only a short time after the enchantment activates, ending it prematurely, and fights off the Man. Ken and Ganchi flee the fortress and catch up with Cail. Ganchi realizes Ken and the Man are the same person, with Ken having traveled back in time, but not that the two of them are also Ganchi himself having travelled back in time. Ken explains his reasons for traveling into the past, saying it was only as a last resort. He warns Ganchi not to let Parus get the Laquiri, hinting that using one has literally harmed the world. He says that it's safest to keep the Laquiri seperate, and that they're too difficult to destroy for it to matter right now. He parts ways with them, and Ganchi discovers the full extent of the harm to his second soul.
