Suddenly outside, four warriors march pass the inn. The apparent leader, Jean, stops in her tracks. She senses Clare's faint aura emanating from the second-story window, despite Clare being on the suppressant. But Jean dismisses it as her imagination and moves on.

Twin goddesses

The next morning, during Clare's search in town, she comes across a statue of the twin goddesses, Teresa and Clare. Two children argue before the statue. The young girl mentions someone fitting Raki's description.
