Episode 6: The Space Between[]
Summary[]
Travelling through tunnels of water. Kaa’Riin hears voices of the dead who know her. She learns there’s been none of her people for 400 years, wiped out by a silver gauntleted army that massacred them. Followed by ghosts/souls, one goes inside Kaa’Riin. Soul inside Kaa’Riin tries to talk to her but can’t communicate. They get away and end up in a gorgeous chamber with a welcoming giant snail - Shtaka
Thousands of skulls under the water.
Shtaka explains about the Kalishtar. They were massacred and brought here, dying or dead. He keeps the door shut. Mighty god Elas is the mountain. Shtaka’s wife used to be there but she left and he’s too big to leave the cave. The Trio offers to help find her.
He upgrades Kaa’Riin’s backpack and they can put things through it into his shell. Can try asking for things. Backpack of Time and Space.
They go into his shell to escape rising water. Slime is trippy.
They emerge from the shell in another chamber full of much bigger mushroom spiders. Very dark. Tiny hole at the top of the cavern. The light comes from a hole where the god was stabbed according to Shtaka. Trio realises light is the sun and moon passing much too quickly. Kaa’Riin turns into a spider so they can escape out the hole in the ceiling. Freya almost kills Kaa’Riin.
Tal Dornus remembers watching his parents, gods, killed. His mother becomes the mountain. Swears to raise mother by feeding her souls, find father and bring us home. Huge spear of light killed his mother.
Women hit by an avalanche at the end of the episode.

- Kaa’Riin - hundreds of faces, asking for her to find them beneath the fists of metal and white
- Morrigan - a cauldron of filth, feels incomplete, unformed, merged as one rises, free
- Freya - huge hands, trying to reach but can't save her, calls “mom”
A Queen looking out from a castle, the King (Keridral) with a metal gauntlet is beside her. She hears “mum” from Freya and brightens but his control of her is solid.
