A Common Bond

Neri receives another vision from Mandrool; "look high, look low, look deep,” and realises it is her quest to find the crystals. Jobah informs her that they are now branded fugitives and they make good their escape from the Amphibian prison. Neanda joins them and together they make a solemn pact to rid Oceana of Galiel. Neri visits Laziah, the wise leader of the Cave Dwellers. He confirms her suspicion that Galiel can watch her, and tells her to fight against the intrusion. Galiel is angered that Neri has survived and decides to trick her into finding the crystals for himself. As Jobah waits for Neri outside Mandrool's cavern, he is attacked by Galiel's warrior and taken away to an unknown fate.
