Emily climbs the side of the mountain, pursuing the arachnopods. At the top, Trellis is waiting for her. He is wearing an amulet as well, and he uses it to attack the arachnopod carrying Emily’s mom, tearing it in half. He grabs Emily’s mom using the amulet, but he drops her and turns his attention to Emily after she yells at him. Emily assumes that he wants her amulet. She tells him to take it and leave her mom alone, but he reveals that it is Emily he is after. He explains that he wants Emily to help him kill his father, the Elf King, so that they can free the land from his iron grip and finish what her great-grandfather started. When Emily refuses, he uses Sybrian—the parasitic ghost-like creature that has been following him around—to make her. Sybrian wraps around Emily’s head and begins to worm its way into her brain. Emily uses the amulet to break free, destroying Sybrian in the process. She then attacks Trellis, who appears less menacing after Sybrian is destroyed. The amulet encourages Emily to kill Trellis. As energy builds around Emily, the elf pleads for his life and claims that she is making a mistake.
